If a diagnosis is warranted, Dr. Michelle Babcock provides a diagnosis and explains it to the patient and family. In addition, she provides the individual and family with information about prognosis, details to increase an understanding of the individual’s strengths and weaknesses, and personalized, holistic, and integrated recommendations to address areas of weakness to help improve abilities at school, work, and home, including additional examinations or treatments.
