California OnTrack Early Assessment identifies individuals with average or above-average intelligence at high-risk for psychosis leading to schizophrenia, those in the prodromal stage, as well as after a first break but before a formal diagnosis.
Non-invasive assessments are performed in our offices over the course of 1-2 days. We conduct thorough early assessments regardless of the presentation of autism, other developmental and physical disabilities, or co-morbid behavioral health symptoms or diagnosis.
Effective treatment requires early and robust assessment including a full history, family interview, analysis of past interventions, academic baseline and changes, and cognitive social and functional observation. Early assessment is individualized, and our team will often coordinate a variety of additional tests performed outside of our office by an assembled expert care team.
A diagnosis is determined after assessments are complete. And families receive a clinical summary outlining diagnostic results, in addition to therapeutic recommendations.
During the assessment, patients live independently, at home, with family members, or in a supportive transitional living environment. Families and individuals traveling to our offices from outside of our region, can contact us for help with lodging near our office location for the duration of the assessment.
