Clinical Services
The Lab School of Washington offers Clinical Services in occupational therapy, psychology, and speech-language pathology to children and adults with learning, developmental, and performance difficulties. Clinical procedures include evaluation, consultation, and treatment.
Evaluation
Evaluation determines the basis for difficulties in school, at home, or during recreational or occupational situations. Different levels of evaluation are available depending upon the purpose and the amount of time and resources required. The appropriate level is selected by the clinician as part of the pre-evaluation process.
Consultation
Consultation is offered to parents and professionals to review diagnostic findings, to establish an appropriate intervention plan for the difficulties identified during evaluation, to test or discuss strategies, and to review gains or obstacles.
Treatment
Treatment is integrated and eclectic. A variety of techniques, approaches, and materials are used. It is provided in individual, small group (2-3), or large group sessions of varying length. Depending on the particular needs of the client, team therapy sessions are also available. These sessions are lead by any combination of occupational therapist, psychologist, or speech-language pathologist. Each clinical area, after careful consultation with other related service providers and classroom teachers, provides an intervention or treatment unique to its discipline.
