Community Clinic FAQs
Unfortunately, we cannot accept court mandated cases. Our Student Clinicians are graduate students in training and are not yet licensed professionals who would be able to appear in court.
Although we conduct screeners year-round, if you are interested in receiving our services for the current year, the best time to complete a screener is two months before the start date of the services you are interested in. (However, please note that admittance is based on first-come, first-served basis and the level of need).
For specific dates and times, please visit our "Services" page and scroll down to see our Clinic flyer.
The Clinic cannot provide official diagnoses given that our Clinicians are still in training. Furthermore, it is not considered best practice to provide a diagnosis based on psychoeducational assessments alone. Official diagnoses should take into consideration classroom observations and teacher reports as well. Our services provide you with a final report that indicates whether your child's test results are consistent with certain disabilities. With this information provided by our psychoeducational assessments, parents can ask for an SST (Student Success Team) at their school, which can start the process that leads to an IEP or accommodations for their child. If you are specifically looking for a diagnosis, please contact your local school psychologist or licensed educational psychologist.
