Assessments

Diagnostic Evaluations:

Each clinician at FPPA is well skilled at evaluating behaviors, experiences and prior assessments (medical, neurological, psychiatric and psychological). The initial intake appointment provides the doctor with the information necessary to begin understanding the nature of a problem and to begin to provide a preliminary plan for change. The treatment plan is further refined as we continue to learn about our clients with each subsequent visit. We believe that education and understanding are critical to change, and we are committed to sharing our diagnostic impressions with clients as they develop over time.

Medication Evaluations:

Fortunately, the range of medications available for mental health concerns has expanded dramatically. These medications affect the brain, behavior, thinking and emotions. Administration of psycho-active medications requires careful and thoughtful consideration of potential benefits, risks, adverse effects, sensitivity to the use of such medications and differences in responses based on age, gender, targeted symptoms and general health status. Our psychiatrists have expertise in psycho-pharmacology across the spectrum of mental illness and can help you or your loved one in making the best decisions regarding short-term and long-term options for treatment. Medication management of disorders is usually combined with other forms of treatment; monitoring of progress is customized to the individual and his/her needs.

Specialized Guardian Services and Resources

Parent training for child behavior management:

Children are born with a range of personalities and behavioral tendencies. Sometimes, children with difficult temperaments are born to parents who are loving and attentive, but cannot manage their children's difficult behavior. FPPA provides parent training for child behavior management. This is a hands-on intervention that teaches strategies that will enhance your parenting toolbox and help you be more effective in managing your child's difficult behaviors.

Parent training for autism spectrum disorders:

Children with autism have difficulties accurately processing and understanding information in their environment. This often leads to confusion and behavioral difficulties. With the help of experienced parents, the professional community has identified a set of strategies that often help individuals with autism understand their environments and expectations about their behavior more clearly. Parent training for autism spectrum disorders employs strategies developed by Division TEACCH, enlisting parents as teachers for their children. You will be taught strategies that will help your child access the best of his or her skills and abilities.
