Mosaic Child and Family Therapy Services is an interdisciplinary pediatric therapy group that provides assessment and treatment services to young children with developmental and behavioral challenges and their families.  Our goal is to help parents understand a child’s overall developmental needs, specifically in the areas of motor coordination and sensory processing, communication, cognition, social-emotional, play and adaptive abilities.  Our staff is comprised of the following professionals:  N. Rebecca Fineman PhD, Lori E. Bond PhD, Renee Pyle PhD, Amy Travers, MS CCC-SLP, Elizabeth Zias M.A. Ed. OTR/L, SWC and Nicole Kristal MS, OT/L.  Each professional is independently licensed and acts as an independent practitioner, solely responsible for her professional functions.  These professionals have not formed a partnership, corporation, LLC or any other business entity.  These professionals have joined together to provide appropriate services to respond to parents’/guardians questions and concerns regarding their child.  These services include diagnostic assessments, treatment planning and therapy.

Description of Mosaic Child and Family Therapy Services

Evaluation Services

We conduct comprehensive evaluations in order to provide detailed information about a child’s development and therapeutic needs. As the first step in the evaluation process, parents/guardians meet with a clinician to review relevant history, to describe their concerns and questions and to receive your written permission to proceed with the assessment plan.  The assessment process may include administration of developmental tools and standardized measures, direct observation of the child’s play and interactions with the parent/family and/or peers, completion of behavioral checklists and consultation with other provides or professionals who know the child (teacher, caregiver).  The clinicians involved in the assessment collaborate with one another throughout the assessment process and prior to meeting with the parents for a thorough review of the assessment information, diagnostic formulation, if appropriate, and treatment recommendations.  A written evaluation report details the assessment findings and recommendations and is mailed directly to the parents/guardians approximately three weeks after the date of the parent conference.  Clinicians are available for additional meetings to clarify assessment findings and recommendations, to provide appropriate referrals to community resources and to offer direct services as agreed upon by the clinician and the parents.  Specialty services such as IEP attendance, school liaison services, expert testimony, and off site consultations are at the discretion of the individual clinician and are not included in the price of an evaluation.

Therapeutic Services

Should therapeutic services be recommended, your clinician will discuss the nature, scope, potential risks/benefits, estimated length and goals of therapy with you.  Therapeutic services will be rendered only after an appropriate evaluation has been completed either by a Mosaic clinician or by another qualified clinician.   In cases where there has been a previous evaluation by another clinician outside of Mosaic, the Mosaic clinician will determine if further evaluation is necessary before proceeding with therapy after having reviewed the prior written report.
