Evaluations

Mitchell’s Place currently offers four types of evaluations to evaluate a child’s overall developmental and behavioral functioning. Diagnoses will only be given when clinically appropriate. Please see our website or call us to determine which evaluation is best for you!

Types of Evaluations:

Psychological Evaluations

Age Range: 18 months to adulthood (no age limit)

This evaluation is with one of our licensed psychologists. It is appropriate for a child, adolescent, or adult who is experiencing any type of behavioral, emotional, social, or academic difficulties. Possible diagnoses may include (but are not limited to) autism spectrum disorder (ASD), attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), specific learning disorders (including dyslexia), anxiety, depression, oppositional defiant disorder, and intellectual disability.

Speech-Language Evaluations

Age Range: 12 months to 12 years

Evaluations take place with one of our licensed SLPs and may be beneficial to determine a need for services and/or treatment outcomes. An evaluation may be appropriate if a child has difficulties understanding language, expressing themselves, or difficulties being understood (speech sounds).

Occupational Therapy Evaluations

Age Range: 12 months to 12 years

This evaluation is with one of our licensed occupational therapists. It is appropriate for a child who is having trouble participating in their daily activities such as play or school due to difficulties with fine motor skills, sensory processing, self-care skills, emotion regulation, or gross motor/postural control.

Interdisciplinary Evaluations

Age range: 18 months to 16 years

This evaluation includes a psychologist, occupational therapist, and speech-language pathologist. We strongly recommend that children younger than 3 receive this type of assessment if they are not already receiving outpatient services. This is appropriate for clients who are experiencing a wide variety of difficulties and are not receiving speech-language therapy and/or occupational therapy
