Follow-Up Consultations
 

Follow-Up treatment at the Smart Center is considered a consultation, NOT an appointment.
Why? At the Smart Center our Follow-Up consultations include significantly MORE than the typical ‘appointment’ that most families are accustomed to.  Children/teens are not ‘just seen’ and ‘go home’ but there is a significant amount of professional time spent PRIOR to (reviewing e-mail updates, reviewing both parent & School Follow-up forms and planning) and AFTER each visit (developing an appt summary and updated goals/games for both home and school).    
Approximate time per Follow-up consultation: 3 1/2 hours per child

Each monthly Follow-Up consultation includes the following:

 - Unlimited E-Mail updates TO clinician from parent and/or teachers
(Clinician reads and files to use in preparation for upcoming follow-up consultation)
*Email correspondence requires signed parent waiver. **Additional fees apply to requested email feedback. 

 - Evaluation of SM-Follow-Up Questionnaire (c) by parent(s)
*Submitted prior to consultation. Allows clinician to review and plan for upcoming consultation.
