Typically, assessments are completed in one appointment, but two appointments may be required when completing comprehensive evaluations. Two appointments may be required for clients who are not applying adequate effort or who may not have the capacity to complete testing in one session. The decision to assess over two sessions will be made during the first appointment and/or negotiated prior to services being rendered.
