Welcome to our Services

ENTER CHADIS HERE.

In addition to the paper forms we provided you and to provide us with as much information as possible about your child and your concerns before we meet, we ask that you complete a set of confidential questionnaires in CHADIS (Child Health and Development Interactive System), an online computer system we use. CHADIS allows you to answer a series of questions over the internet BEFORE your visit. It will ask about your concerns about your child's behavior, development and health. The CHADIS website operates with the highest level of security and the information you provide is strictly confidential. Only our clinical staff can see it.

Completing this information may take an hour or two, depending on the age of your child and the questionnaires your clinician wishes you to complete. If you have not used CHADIS before, follow the directions below. Your cooperation will allow us to truly understand your concerns and help us to serve you well.

PLEASE COMPLETE THE CHADIS QUESTIONNAIRES BEFORE YOUR NEXT APPOINTMENT
