Is assessment right for me or my child?
Q
A
Everyone has unique circumstances. Please contact me to discuss whether an assessment is right for you or your child.

I kindly request 24 hours’ notice if you are unable to attend your appointment. No-shows or cancellations with less than 24 hours’ notice will be charged the full hourly rate for the session. Insurance does not cover no-show fees. Exceptions may be made in the case of illness, emergency, or weather-related issues.
