FAQ

How will an Assessment help my teen or child?

An assessment will help your child by providing a detailed understanding of what is getting in
their way, whether that is Autism, ADHD, anxiety, behavioral challenges or a learning difficulty.
The assessment results and a plan on how to help your child are summarized in a report that
you can share with their health care team (e.g., pediatrician, family doctor) and their school.
An assessment identifies what areas need to be supported so that your child can feel their best,
have better coping tools, and reach their full potential at school.

What is the process like for an Assessment?

  • The first step is to call us or fill out the contact form here or call us at 343-451-7293 to set up your first appointment.
  • In the first appointment you will meet with Dr. Kurta to talk about your concerns: Perhaps your child is having trouble paying attention at school? Having trouble reading? Anxiety, depression, behavior or social issues are getting in their way?
  • One-on-one testing with your child/youth: Your child will come into our office to complete activities to see how they learn and we will collect additional information from you (e.g., report cards). We will explore their cognitive, academic and memory profile.
  • Questionnaires and rating scales are completed by the child/youth, parent(s), and school staff, if applicable.
  • Additional assessment session with Dr. Kurta, if needed.
  • Reviewing report cards, IEP, previous reports, if applicable.
