PERSONAL ASSESSMENT

personal assessment

A complete assessment is conducted during the first session with each new Brain Enhancement Institute client. Critical background information and history, including medical data, is collected and if necessary, records from prior treatment are ordered. A thorough assessment is essential to determine the appropriate level of care needed and for treatment goals and plans to be developed. Clients are encouraged to allow the participation of significant others in the assessment and, when indicated, in the treatment process also. This is especially indicated when treating children in order to get a comprehensive picture of the client. If referral is necessary all staff are knowledgeable regarding the best most cost effective treatment resources in the area.
