How does Cove PREP determine what treatment is necessary?
Extensive and multidisciplinary assessment is required to determine the level of treatment, plan of care and duration of treatment required. Academic Screening All residents admitted to the program are initially screened for reading and mathematics level. On the most basic level, its critical that we know how well a new resident can read and comprehend what he reads before he completes other diagnostic testing. Reading comprehension or other learning disorders are frequently identified through this screening. Intelligence Testing If a youth has not had Intelligence testing completed within the past two years, or if a question exists about the results of previous testing, standardized intelligence testing will be completed. This information assists the therapist in matching the level of material presented to the youth’s ability. Medical Screening All youth have a Nursing Assessment conducted within 24 hours of admission and a Physical conducted within one week of admission. Arrangements
