​

Additional Information​

​

• Children typically enjoy the 1:1 evaluation experience.  Along with using kid friendly materials which naturally pique children’s curiosity, I am intentional about creating a nurturing and comfortable space for your child.  Please refer to the CAIS Brochure to read about tips to ensure your child has a positive testing experience.

​

• An optional parent-only feedback session (50 minutes) can be scheduled if you would like further insight into your child's performance and assessment results.
