Do I stay with my child?

A parent or caregiver is more than welcome to stay and enjoy the various spaces in the office that allow for working remotely or catching up on leisure reading. If you stay, we ask that siblings do not accompany you.

For young children, it is typically necessary for parents to stay for the duration of the evaluation. You may be needed to participate in some activities, or at least enjoy breaks with your little one.

For school-aged children and older, they are generally comfortable and independent enough to remain at the office without a parent present. Just be sure to send them with a small lunch, some snacks, a drink. Electronic devices are permitted for breaks if they are not distracting, but they are not available during testing activities.
