We will attempt to get most background information prior to your child's first appointment. Initial assessment appointments are usually 90 minutes. In the first appointment, I will spend some time getting to know your child and you as their parent, and then commence assessment. On completion of the assessment, we will organise a feedback session to discuss the results.
