Initial Consultations
Following the initial phone consultation, all new clients and their parents/significant others are seen by our founder, Susan P. Paul, for a one hour consultation in our Conshohocken office. The purpose of the consultation:
- Determine if a formal assessment is warranted
- Provide clients with simple strategies they can use immediately
- Determine which Communiverse® associate would potentially work best within the context of their daily lives the client should services continues
Formal Assessments
Our comprehensive evaluations are individualized and include interviewing the client and other team members, review of past history and any other written reports, direct observation in a variety of contexts, as necessary, and standardized and non-standardized assessments. We at Communiverse® believe that one needs a relationship with a client prior to providing direct, standardized measures. Therefore, our initial sessions are both diagnostic and therapeutic in nature. A client will not be billed for the evaluation until the report is completed and in the client’s possession.
