Assessments are conducted in close collaboration with other professionals in diagnosis-focused competency teams. Assessment work provides the foundation for future habilitation and rehabilitation efforts. Toward the end of each assessment, oral presentation of results and recommendations takes place with the referring facility and, where applicable, other networks surrounding the child. Results are summarized in a final note sent to guardians and the referring physician. Continuous competency development based on operational needs is prioritized, while the opportunity for remote administrative work one day per week is provided if work permits. Various research projects are conducted in the operation, providing opportunities for academic development.
