Frequently Asked Questions

  • During the parent intake appointment, Dr. Gottlieb will listen to your concerns, review relevant background history, and determine which specific assessments are most appropriate. Old evaluations can also be reviewed at this session. This pre-testing session serves as a guide for the evaluation process and typically lasts between 45 minutes to one hour.

  • During the structured sessions, your child will participate in interactive activities with Dr. Gottlieb while  seated at a desk. The assessments are engaging and require your child to listen to instructions and  questions, then respond either verbally, in writing, or using an iPad, depending on the specific test. Short  breaks are offered as needed to support focus and sustained effort. Each session typically lasts between 90  and 120 minutes. 

  • Your child is welcome to bring a water bottle, a small snack, and a sweatshirt for comfort during the  session. Fidgets may be helpful for some children, but toys that could be distracting are best avoided.
