From June 2021 to July 2022, Sewall’s Diagnostic & Evaluation Clinic conducted approximately 66 diagnostic evaluations for children from 11 months through 16 years of age. Sewall is proudly one of the only clinics providing multidisciplinary, arena-style evaluations in the larger metro area, and one of two serving Medicaid-eligible families. Last year, 57 of the 66 children evaluated were Medicaid-eligible.

By following all CDC guidelines, the vast majority of evaluations were able to be performed in person during the COVID-19 pandemic. Sewall is proudly one of the only clinics providing multidisciplinary, arena-style evaluations in the larger metro area, and one of two serving Medicaid-eligible families. Last year, 43 of the 47 children evaluated were Medicaid-eligible.
