Multidisciplinary Services
Multidisciplinary Services
From integrated multidisciplinary evaluations to co-led social skills groups, our supports are exponentially more effective when we combine the best of what our disciplines offer. Our multidisciplinary services are creative and innovative offerings driven by identified needs, without adherence to established conventions.
Comprehensive Multidisciplinary Evaluation
Integrated evaluation that includes psychological, academic, occupational, and speech/language
evaluations. Evaluation will be individualized based on presenting problems provided by caregivers and collaborating professionals. Prior to testing, My Team will collaborate to discuss the most efficient and effective tools needed to assess the current levels of functioning. Following the evaluation, a team meeting will be held to discuss a cohesive plan to address the salient aspects of the child’s development. Summary integrating the evaluations provided as well.
Early Childhood Screening
Multidisciplinary screening of children’s early development. A special education teacher will
observe the child in their home and/ or classroom. Parents and teachers will be asked to complete symptom report measures regarding the child’s relationships, behavior, emotions, and attention. The team will subsequently meet with the parents to review findings and develop a plan. Early childhood screenings are not meant to be directly evaluative or diagnostic in nature. The evaluators use symptom report measures and clinical judgement to gauge potential areas of concern. While all evaluations reflect an individual’s functioning at one moment in time, this is particularly true during early childhood, when children’s abilities and challenges are less established.
Child Development Screening
A special educator, globally oriented to functioning across areas, observes the child, with areas to focus
specified by our specialists from different fields. Parents are often asked to complete a questionnaire or two as well. Following the observation, the team meets to develop preliminary ideas about the underlying challenges, and we then meet with the parents to review our impressions and recommendations. A written summary is provided to the parents.
