​​REFERRALS


Referrals for Comprehensive Diagnostic Assessment & Psychological Evaluations

Referrals are accepted for patients ages 18 months to 21. 

Please request your child's primary care doctor or specialist fax the demographic page, last visit note, and referral question to 318-300-3561 or the closest Behavioral Specialists office.   We will schedule without a referral but prefer a referral when an established primary care relationship exists. 


Referrals for Applied Behavior Analysis

Referrals are accepted for patients ages 18 months to 21

Patients with a current diagnostic evaluation, pupil appraisal report, or IEP/504/IFSP should specify this information is available in the referral. 


Referrals for Psychological Services

Please request a referral from your child's current prescriber and/or primary care doctor (as described above).


Referrals for Counseling Services

Referrals are accepted for children and teens age 7-18.

Please request a referral from your child's current prescriber and/or primary care doctor (as described above). We prefer a psychological evaluation be available in the patient record as a component of a counseling referral. If an evaluation has not been conducted, we offer the service in our clinic.
