Services

Evaluation services
Once our initial evaluation is completed, we will review the results with you and provide you with a detailed report. We will help coordinate appropriate medical evaluation by our medical staff or your physician in order to rule out other medical causes of chronic attention problems. We will also recommend screenings for hearing and visual problems as indicated.
Treatment services
Our comprehensive program includes individualized attention training at home or at our clinic (EEG biofeedback), parenting classes, social skills classes, counseling for teens and young adults to successfully transition to college, and coaching to help adults have more satisfying relationships and careers. We work closely with our clinic’s medical staff as well as, community physicians and school districts to assess medication response and develop effective IEP’s and 504 Plans.
