Preparing for Your Child’s CMDE

The Comprehensive Multi-Disciplinary Evaluation (CMDE) is the first step in accessing EIDBI services. Here’s how to prepare:

• Gather Documentation: Bring your child’s medical records, previous evaluations, and developmental history.
• List Concerns and Goals: Write down specific concerns about your child’s development and goals you hope to achieve through therapy.
• Prepare Your Child: Let your child know what to expect during the evaluation to reduce anxiety.
• Ask Questions: Prepare a list of questions for the evaluator to better understand the process and recommendations.

A thorough and well-prepared CMDE helps create an effective treatment plan tailored to your child’s needs.
