Some Featured Services at Made For Kids, Inc.

 

 

Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT)

 

PCIT has been found through research to be one of the most effective programs available for the treatment of behavioral issues in children 2-8 years old. Parents have reported the effects of PCIT to be "life-changing", and some parents have even reported seeing remarkable changes in their child "over-night." Both Dr. Michener and Dr. Edwards have specialized training in this highly effective parenting program.

 

Assessment of Autism Spectrum Disorders

 

At Made for Kids, we conduct specialized and comprehensive assessments for children who may have Autism Spectrum Disorders. Evaluations can be conducted with children as young as 18 months old. As part of the assessment process, we use the Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule (ADOS), which is considered the industry's gold-standard approach for the assessment of Autism.

 

Assessment of AD/HD or ADD

 

We conduct specialized assessments for children who may have AD/HD or ADD. As part of this process we conduct an initial interview, conduct formal observations of the child's behavior, and conduct neuropsychological testing. As part of the feedback process, we provide detailed recommendations for how to help your child regulate attention, manage behavior at home, and be more successful at school.

 

 

Assessment of Learning Disabilities

 

Made for Kids, Inc provides specialized assessments for children with suspected Learning Disabilities, including (but not limited to) reading, math, and writing disabilities.
