New Patients

Your first appointment will be for an initial consultation and evaluation. This involves gathering information regarding the concern(s) bringing you to the appointment, as well as more general information about you/your child that may be helpful (i.e., medical history, development, behavior, school/academic performance, emotional functioning, and socialization). You/your child may be asked to complete any of various rating scales which assess developmental, behavioral, and emotional functioning, if found to be indicated. At the end of the initial consultation, impressions will be reviewed with you, as well as treatment recommendations. If further testing and/or follow-up treatment is warranted, you may be offered to get these services at Rocky River Behavioral Pediatrics, or at times referred on to another provider when necessary and appropriate. As part of follow-up care, you and/or your child may be asked to complete rating scales that will re-assess functioning to monitor progress during treatment.
