GETTING STARTED

If you have concerns about your child or a teacher or pediatrician refers your child  for an evaluation, there are several options:

• You can contact us directly

1. EK can perform a screening to advise whether your child needs further testing and then option 2 or 3.
2. EK therapists can perform private evaluations and private therapy sessions.
3. We can refer you to the appropriate educational evaluation program, Early Intervention for 0-3 years and Department of Education for 3-21 years. These agencies perform multidisciplinary evaluations and if the child qualifies for therapy, you can request Emilia’s Kids.  These programs are free of charge to all families.
