What to Expect on Your Appointment

Clinic assessment may require from 4-7 hours. For more complex medical-legal and neuro­psy­cho­log­i­cal exam­i­na­tions, an additional half day is some­times necessary. Functional Ability Examinations (FAE), a physical mobility evaluation, normally require 4-6 hours for 1 day assessments, and an additional 4 hours each day for 2 or 3 day Functional Ability Examinations.

Rest and lunch breaks will be provided. With the exception of FAE examinations, most of the time is spent seated, with opportunity for stretching breaks as necessary.

Patients should bring a list of the current med­i­ca­tions, and any corrective lenses.

 

 

Persons under age 18 should be accompanied by a parent, guardian or rehabilitation worker.

Assessments normally require interviews and com­ple­tion of written materials. For persons with weak English skills, aid is provided. Many of our forms are available in other languages. Culture-fair testing can be conducted. Where necessary, ar­range­ments for Interpreter aid can be made. No prep­a­ra­tion in advance is required.

Treatment, counseling and case management ses­sions normally last 60–180 minutes with breaks available as needed.
