Comprehensive Care
We look at treatment as the unwrapping of gifts guided by our model of strength-based assessment. Our plans include:
1. Diagnosis and identification of talents, strengths, interests, and dreams
2. Assessment of cognitive skills
3. A consideration of medication
4. Implementation of the five-step "cycle of excellence" plan (Diagnosis, Education, Structure, Psychotherapy, Medication)
5. Education for the family and school
6. Lifestyle changes
7. Learning to use structure
8. Counseling
9. A consideration of Cog Med, and Neuro- & Bio- feedback Therapies
