The BCSC Process

Assessment

Get started quickly by scheduling your initial intake assessment. This initial appointment includes a preliminary clinical interview and may also include (if necessary) an additional semi-structured diagnostic assessment.

Personalized Treatment

Once we determine what treatment program is best for you, the appropriate members of our multi-disciplinary team begin to work with you and your family. Assessment continues throughout treatment to ensure optimal progress.

Objective Progress Monitoring

Throughout treatment, we will review how you (or your child) are doing to ensure we are reaching your goals. Should there be any questions about goals and/or progress, our measurements help clarify the best course of action.
