There are many components in the evaluation process:

- Collecting information from other sources (e.g. teachers, therapists, etc.)
- Scoring of the forms, interpreting the information, and writing the report

You will receive a comprehensive evaluation report including the diagnosis and appropriate recommendations when the evaluation is completed that you can share with your doctor, psychiatrists, pediatrician, school, college, work, etc. The length of the evaluation completion depends on availability and the depth and length of the evaluation.
