Total hours = 12+ hours. Evaluations for adolescents tend to be more complex. Because they still have a rather long student career in front of them, the process is more meticulous. We also consider all family members point of view on the topic, which takes more time. In the end, it's worth taking the time. At this time, only Dre Desormeaux offers services to adolescents and their family.
