To ensure that each evaluation is handled diligently and with the time and care it deserves, the amount of new clients that can be seen per week is limited. This causes appointment spots to fill up quickly, and increases the waittime to be seen. 

We appreciate your patience and understanding on this matter and work to get everyone in quickly.

Due to the high demand for services and volume of clients our office sees we work as diligently as possible to complete assessments in a timely manner. 

 To aid in this process, here are a few things you can do:

• Complete all documents in a timely manner so we can get you scheduled.

• Keep scheduled appointments. Missing an appointment can result in a long delay in getting you rescheduled, or potentially not being rescheduled due to our Cancellation policy.

• Completing report measures that are sent by your technician will help prevent delay in scheduling the Feedback appointment. 

-A Feedback appointment will NOT be scheduled until this is completed, as it is a vital part of the assessment.
