Unlimited (EPU) assesses children whose parents/caregivers have
multiple concerns about their child's learning, development,
and/or behavior.
The center is staffed by medical, mental health, and other professionals from several different agencies. Staff from these agencies is located at EPU and can offer Fresno County children, birth through 5 years of age, and their families, more comprehensive assessment services in one location.
In addition to EPU, other participating agencies include:
* Assessment services provided by these agencies are done at no charge.
Parents/caregivers are asked to complete and sign several forms that allow the center to share the information they provide with other professionals who may be serving their child, and to obtain additional information about their child from others (Children's Hospital, doctor, etc.). All of this contributes to the development of the best possible plan of care for each child's needs and development.
Many services offered at the Assessment Center are provided at no charge although a referral from the child's physician may be required for insurance billing purposes. If the child does not have a physician, the Assessment Center staff can assist the parents in getting one. Assessment Center staff can also assist families in applying for medical insurance if the child does not have any.
If you have any questions about assessment services or the assessment process. Please call 559/225-1102.
