About Dr. Starr ADHD Biofeedback Treatment Workshops One Step at a Time Helpful Links Contact Dr. Starr Office Procedures What should I expect? The first appointment will include an interview to obtain information about the client's history and current behavior. After the interview, psychological testing will be scheduled. Parents are often asked to complete a behavior rating scale about their child. Information from the child's teacher may also be requested. After this is completed, Dr. Starr will meet with you to discuss his findings and recommendations. He will discuss the appropriate types of treatments, specific treatment goals, approximate time frame for treatment, and what your personal and financial obligations will be. Please feel free to ask any questions at this time. What about confidentiality? No information will be released without your written permission.
