Services Provided: North Central Evaluation and Consultation Services are now being provided through a collective evaluations process using a local transdisciplinary team. The composition of a team will vary according to the unique needs of you and your child, and according to your specific questions/issues prompting the request for the evaluation and/or consultation. Our typical team for a formal evaluation may include a psychologist, a behavior specialist, a speech therapist, an occupational therapist, and a physical therapist. We typically see preschool children with significant delays of unknown causes, individuals with challenging behaviors to identify contributing factors, as well as the supports necessary to change behavior, or individuals who have complex disabilities or needs, for whom previous strategies have been unsuccessful. We also see children for the evaluation and diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder.
