So, your child goes through the intake assessment, and you fill out mountains of paperwork, and the day finally arrives: you get to meet your child’s therapist. Whether this meeting occurs in your home, or at an outside location, the first session is very much like a first date. Your child’s therapist (you’ll come to think of the person as your therapist as well, trust me), will be observing and interacting with your child, in order to put together a course of therapy. At the same time, you are watching the therapist, to see if your child responds positively toward that person and if you find that person agreeable.
