Online or In-Person—Your Choice
Depending on your child’s age, parts of the assessment can be completed either online, in person, or as a combination of both.
5-16 Years
The intake (first) and feedback (last) sessions can be conducted remotely. However, the main assessment must be completed in person to ensure clinical accuracy and meet best-practice guidelines.
16 Years and Older (Including Adults)
If preferred, the entire assessment process - including intake, assessment, and feedback sessions—can be completed remotely using secure, professional platforms.
