Individualized Evaluation for Your Child's Needs

 At Desert Neurodevelopment, PLLC, Dr. Bree is passionate about helping you unlock your child's full potential. When you collaborate with Dr. Bree, you’ll gain more than a diagnosis--you’ll gain a deeper understanding of your child’s unique strengths, needs, and understanding of the world. Following evaluation, you will be positioned to help your child receive the support he or she needs to overcome challenges, build resilience, and thrive.


Scheduling begins with a consultation, either a Complimentary Telehealth Consultation or a more comprehensive Initial Consultation. The Initial Consultation is the first step in scheduling an evaluation.

The Details

Online Scheduling & Paperwork

Consultation

All evaluations begin with a consultation, which can be scheduled online or through our Client Portal.

Complimentary Telephone Consultation

Schedule a free, 15-minute telephone consultation with Dr. Bree briefly discuss your concerns and your child's needs. 

Initial Consultation (Evaluation Step 1)

ages 1-21

For parents who have more to discuss than can be covered in 15 minutes, and/or for those who are ready to begin the evaluation process, the Initial Consultation offers a 60-90 minute appointment with Dr. Bree. 


Online scheduling offers a telehealth option, but if you would prefer to meet with Dr. Bree in person for this appointment, we are more than happy to accommodate. Please call us to schedule an in-person appointment. 


Evaluation

We offer a variety of evaluation options to fit your child's needs, with each evaluation customized to the individual child and provided at a flat rate. Additional testing and appointments will never result in increased cost, because we believe it is in each child's best interest to individualize testing to their needs.
