Educational and Behavioral Services and Offerings
CDAT offers several assessments that can help you to understand where your child is in his or her development and some activities that are designed to enhance areas that may need strengthening. The following is a partial listing of the assessments we can provide, but additional services may be available. Please contact us for a consultation to discuss your particular needs.
Initial Developmental Evaluation and Screening
This evaluation includes investigation of specific learning abilities and behaviors exhibited by your child and is completed through a play-based assessment approach for younger children and standardized testing for older children. After the evaluation, a follow-up visit will be scheduled where you will receive a full report summary and suggested activities.
Follow-up Educational Therapy Sessions
These one-hour in-office appointments build on the results of the Initial Developmental Evaluation and Screening and include activities and educational and behavioral progress monitoring.
Home Visits for Initial Evaluation
