The way everything was explained in the evaluation, carefully going through each section and explaining what it means and how it applies. Was exceptionally good at finding ways to connect to my child and getting her to engage and respond. I felt that this was a very positive experience for our family.

Everything about the session was great. I love how thorough and detailed the testing and the results were. It shows the time and effort that went into diagnosis. I also feel the Dr was very easy to talk to and very helpful with information and going into depth on behaviors and how they can show up in a person.
