Admissions Process
Conducting an evaluation is the first step in the admission process. The evaluation is a Global Neurodevelopmental and Educational Assessment that measures and records data in each of the key areas represented in the Interpersonal Whole-Brain Model of Care (IWBMC).
The evaluation process is a combination of direct testing measures utilizing over 1,000+ neurodevelopmental metrics, additional standardized tests, and measures, clinical observation, parent/provider reporting, and includes an in-depth and comprehensive parent interview, nutritional consultation, and a qEEG (Quantitative Electroencephalogram).
The findings are then synthesized to develop an individualized treatment plan and recommendations, individualized program design, and a Comprehensive Report to review key findings during the Program Overview. The cost of an evaluation is $3,800 with a $500 deposit to schedule. Our evaluation appointments are often booked 2 – 4 months out, so if you would like to schedule an evaluation, please contact us to get on the schedule as soon as possible by calling our Admissions team at 770-998-1017. We look forward to serving you!
