Services
All Building Blocks clients are evaluated and follow the outlined procedures below before treatment to determine rate and type of treatment
Initial Consultation Meeting (recommended but optional): The therapist and parent(s) discuss concerns related to the child’s functioning. The therapist provides recommendations for an evaluation, treatment, and/or home strategies.
Evaluation (required for treatment): Approximately 1-3 hours of testing using standardized and/or informal measures to assess the child’s strengths/deficits and determine the need for weekly therapy. Evaluations occur in 1 hour increments per week up to 3 sessions.
Evaluation Report (required for treatment): Written description of administered test, the child’s performance, and areas to target in treatment (if applicable). This report includes a treatment plan (when treatment is recommended) with baseline areas of functioning and 4-6 month goals.
Evaluation Feedback Meeting (strongly recommended but optional): The therapist and parent(s) review the evaluation report and treatment recommendations.
Treatment Sessions (depending on needs of client): Individual, paired, and group sessions are available. Treatment sessions are typically 45 minutes in duration, with the remaining 15 minutes of the hour dedicated to treatment planning and treatment note writing.
Consultative Services (depending on needs of client): The therapist provides recommendations and strategies for home and school settings to optimize the child’s functioning and address areas of concern. Consultative services include classroom observations, consultation with school staff/parents, and therapy collaborations with other specialists.
