For younger children, Dr. Cordiano meets first with parents to better understand their concerns about their child. For older children and adolescents, parents and children are involved in the intake process. The intake appointment includes a thorough diagnostic interview and may also include behavior rating forms to provide additional information about presenting concerns. At the end of the intake appointment, Dr. Cordiano will share initial impressions and together with the client and parents, devise an initial treatment plan. Follow-up therapy appointments generally occur weekly or every other week and last for 45-50 minutes. After 2-3 therapy appointments, Dr. Cordiano will share treatment impressions and together with the client and parents, adjust the treatment plan as needed. For younger children, appointments may occur primarily with parents or caregivers. For school-age children, therapy typically includes appointments with the child, with the parent and child together, and with parents separately. For adolescents, therapy occurs predominately with the client with occasional parent appointments, as needed. https://www.drtoricordiano.com/evaluations daily 0.75 2022-09-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e1cc809629fd25230f42abe/1579050883928-1PK485QRD1RN7A9FLFT2/Meeting_parent+meeting.png Comprehensive Evaluations - What does a comprehensive evaluation entail? Every comprehensive evaluation begins with a diagnostic intake appointment with parents (or with parents and older children/adolescents) to gather a thorough developmental history and better understand presenting concerns. At the end of this initial appointment, Dr. Cordiano shares her impressions and develops a plan with the family. Typically, specific assessments are administered over the course of 2-3 testing appointments that are several hours in length. Depending on the referral question, a comprehensive evaluation may include: Classroom observations Cognitive assessment Assessment of specific academic skills (reading, writing, math) Assessment of language skills Assessment of attention and executive functioning Assessment of mood, anxiety, behavior, and personality Consultation with teachers, tutors, or outside clinicians to gather additional data https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e1cc809629fd25230f42abe/1579029655381-JBMQ2L50MFFTBH9W97CW/Tori+Cordiano_Speaking.png Comprehensive Evaluations - What happens after the evaluation has been completed? After the evaluation is complete, Dr. Cordiano meets with parents to review the results and to give parents a copy of the evaluation report. During this appointment, special focus is given to explaining the findings from the evaluation and reviewing specific recommendations. Following this appointment, Dr. Cordiano is available to meet with the child/teenager to review general results/recommendations or to meet with school personnel, if requested by parents. https://www.drtoricordiano.com/speaking daily 0.75 2024-12-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e1cc809629fd25230f42abe/1579028304717-FL5MADR3OSPXM4S9OAXH/Headshot_Tori+Cordiano.png Professional Speaking - Potential Topics Anxiety Executive functioning Child and adolescent development Parent-child relationships Creativity and play in childhood Developing resilience Balancing extracurricular activities Parenting https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e1cc809629fd25230f42abe/1579279903172-7MK6S1UKAGFKF0VMKT22/image-asset.jpeg Professional Speaking - Media Dr. Cordiano’s consultation and original writing has been featured in various media outlets.
