Clinic Screenings

Dr. Schmidt and her team offer shorter, cost effective evaluations that target a specific area of concern (i.e., ADHD, autism, Learning disability, anxiety).  The wait times for clinic appointments tend to be short.  In a clinic, you will be assessed for a targeted area of concern and then will receive written documentation of the results that can be shared with families, providers and/or work/educational settings.  Dr. Schmidt often provides follow up for her clinic clients after 6-12 months to gauge effectiveness of treatment interventions.

Our office has the following clinic offerings:

  • ADHD/Executive Function Clinic

  • Learning Disability and Dyslexia Clinic

  • Autism Clinic

  • Transition Planning for Adulthood Clinic

  • Anxiety Clinic
