Where to go for a Diagnosis

NC has a wonderful system of Developmental Evaluation Centers or DECÕs. When you call one of the DECÕs below for an appointment, you can expect that your child will typically be seen by a psychologist, a speech pathologist and a physician. This takes about 3 hours. They will need to ask you to return in the afternoon and give you a diagnosis. Your written report takes up to three weeks to receive.
