What Does An Evaluation Entail?
​
Our evaluation process includes the following:
-
Face-to-face testing in our office (about 3-6 hours)
-
Scoring and Report Writing (about 4-8 hours) done behind the scenes and can be done on different day and time than the actual Face to Face Evaluation
-
A review of previous records
-
Collaborating with involved professionals
-
Final results session to review all findings and discuss recommendations
-
A final copy of the report (12-15 pages)
-
Before results of the evaluation are released, payment must be received by our office. Methods of payment can be discussed with the doctor.
-
If requested, after our final results session, Dr.Boscan or staff will connect with involved parties, such as schools, tutors, physicians, etc. to review evaluation results and assist with the initiation of interventions and accommodations.
What to Expect in an Assessment or Evaluation
​
Through a wide range of diagnostic tools we aim to compose a diagnostic evaluation with utmost completion and accuracy. Through recognizing and molding to suit unique patient circumstances and situations, my and my colleagues diagnostic examinations assess problems with awareness of physical, genetic, developmental, emotional, cognitive, and social components of the case at hand.
Our goal is to create a working diagnosis and a fully individualized, comprehensive treatment plan, for the patient and his or her family. Each diagnosis and treatment will take into consideration patient individuality, challenges, and strengths. Both I and my colleagues are trained and experienced in relevant forms of therapy and able to execute a customized treatment plan in collaboration with all individuals invested. Treatments can be expected to involve a combination of individual psychotherapy, medication management, yoga, nutritional consultation, a personal trainer, family meetings and group therapy, marital therapy, or play therapy for children as agreed to by the patient’s family member.
