You can bring along if you’ve got any reports that have been written as a result of assessments that have been carried out or any previous medications that the child’s been on to help with sort of their psychological difficulties if they’ve been on any. But mostly it’ll be an assessment that’s just asking a lot of questions perhaps about taking a developmental history for the child just asking about the presenting difficulties. There’s not a need to bring along that much information to the first session. If the therapist feels that they need more, they’ll ask for that subsequently.
