Early Childhood Clinic
The ECC is a very specific consultation appointment designed to address the needs of young children ages 2-6 that have not completed kindergarten. This particular appointment is separate from a traditional counseling appointment.
The ECC is a one-day visit involving parents and the child. Prior to this appointment input from teachers is included. The goal of this clinic is to provide an assessment in just one day for young children experiencing social, emotional or behavioral distress.
On this visit, Dr. Lori Keith works with your child to conduct a developmental assessment. During this process, cognitive, language, motor, social and emotional functioning are assessed.
At the end of the day, parents are presented with a written plan that includes the identification of core issues, as well as, a step-by-step plan outlining recommendations for the next steps. The goal of this process is to provide a hands-on road map for action steps toward early intervention.
The Unique Process of the Early Childhood Clinic:
Assessment and results in ONE DAY
TEAM APPROACH with the expertise of two clinicians
PARTNERSHIP with parents and teachers
