At the intake, additional assessments will be determined based on the initial information gathered about your needs, concerns, and presenting issues. Typically, this process involves the following steps:
1. Review of Initial Information: The clinician reviews the referral details, intake forms, and your history to identify areas that may require further evaluation.
2. Identification of Gaps: Any gaps in understanding or areas of concern that were not fully explored during the initial discussion are noted. This may include mental health symptoms, developmental issues, risk factors, or specific behavioral concerns.
3. Goals and Preferences: Your client’s own goals and preferences are considered to determine the most relevant assessments that will support your treatment or service plan.
4. Standardized Screening Tools: Based on the initial assessment, specific standardized screening or diagnostic tools may be recommended to obtain objective data.
5. Collaborative Decision-Making: We will discuss potential additional assessments, explaining their purpose, benefits, and any associated procedures or requirements.
6. Referral to Specialists: If specialized evaluations are needed (e.g., neuropsychological testing, medical assessments), appropriate referrals are made.
7. Customized Plan: The final decision on additional assessments is tailored to the individual's unique circumstances, aiming to gather comprehensive information to inform treatment planning.
This approach ensures that assessments are relevant, targeted, and aligned with your specific needs and the goals of the intake process.
