What is the purpose of the Intake Form and fee?
We request that all parents interested in ability or achievement testing, educational consultations, and/or psycho-educational evaluations complete our four-page intake form. Our staff psychologists carefully review and discuss the information on the form to determine, first of all, if the Diagnostic and Counseling Center is able to answer the questions that a parent has. In cases where it is determined that the DCC is not the right place to meet the needs of a particular child, one of our staff members will contact the parents to explain why. When our staff psychologists determine that the DCC’s services are appropriate for a child, the intake information is used to make a plan for the assessment or consultation. The Intake Fee is a nonrefundable processing fee that covers the time that our psychologists devote to reviewing the intake information.
