We know how important assessments can be for the individuals and families we work with. To support our clients while considering health and safety, we have made some changes to our assessment process.

Right now, we are making use of a hybrid model of assessment, that allows us to do everything that we can do remotely (via secure online meeting) and completing a limited amount of testing in person. We are also minimizing exposure to others by reserving one week of testing per client. Typically, this means that we conduct three testing sessions over the course of that week- two in person, and one remotely- to gather the information we need and answer your referral questions. We work closely with each family or individual to develop an assessment plan that works for them within this hybrid model.

We’ve made other changes to our process to follow best-practices and minimize exposure risk. In person, we are requiring all clients to wear a mask during all in-person meetings (we are wearing masks, too!) We are also ensuring that we maintain appropriate distance as much as possible throughout our meetings, which means that things look a little different when we’re meeting with individuals and families. We are diligently reviewing research related to validity of measures, and we are updating our policies as information becomes available. Please feel free to contact us with any questions you may have about these new policies!

Warmly,

Dr. Maggie Benedict-Montgomery & Dr. Megan McConnell
