Services

Consultation with Dr. Seiden begins with:

• An in-take with parent(s) about the child without the child present is comprised of a full review of prior evaluations, test results, school reports, medical reports, and parental observations;
• A four session Diagnostic Pilot for the child which includes a multitude of diverse cognitive and arts-based activities in each session that results in a qualitative, observational, clinical diagnosis;
• A Parent Review Conference within a week after the Dx pilot is completed which is a “feedback” session scheduled to review each activity and results of same; generally 35-40 pages of proprietary chart notes and many photographs will be included in this review to help illustrate your child’s strengths and challenges and to further discuss therapeutic remediation. A very comprehensive meeting, this is a time in which the discussion about continued therapy and/or referral to other specialists is determined. Continued therapy, if agreed upon, will be scheduled either once or twice a week for your child.

On-going therapy is punctuated by consistent and directed communication between parents, often with teachers and school personnel/administration, and other professional colleagues working together as a team of support.

However, Dr. Seiden supplies a written Tuition and Schedule bill that is mailed to parents of every child at the END of each month prior to the first of the next. All days, times, and fees are itemized on the Tuition Schedule, and any closings or changes in schedule are noted. These systemic bills can be submitted to your Insurance Company directly by you. Fees are consistent for all new patients.
