We appreciate your referrals and will assist you in any way we can. What Parents Need to Know The Specialty Clinics are designed to provide a multidisciplinary assessment specific to the child’s health condition. The child will be assessed on the day of the clinic by several health care professionals who will lend their expertise in developing a plan of care. After assessing the child, these professionals will talk with each other about developing goals related to the child’s health care problems. Recommendations will be made for services to help meet those goals. A
clinic appointment can take between 1½ to 3 hours to complete,
depending on how many clinic team members the child has been scheduled
to see. It is recommended that parents plan to arrange child care
for other children in the family so that they will be able to focus
on and assist with their child’s assessment. Parents will receive
written reports from the team members approximately 3 to 4 weeks
after the clinic appointment; however, recommendations will be made
on the day of the clinic. If follow-up appointments are recommended,
parents will receive a letter about one month before the appointment
is due, asking them to call and schedule an appointment time.
