At least one parent/guardian should accompany the child or adolescent to the initial appointment and it would be helpful to bring any relevant documentation, e.g., previous school speech and language assessments, occupational therapy evaluations, educational or cognitive assessments, private evaluations, IEPs, recent report cards or pertinent medical records. We don’t need routine medical documentation but if there is significant medical history such as a birth complication, brain injury, chronic disease process, sensory deficits etc. be prepared to provide the background information and we can request the medical documentation later.
