From their phones to their friends, teens have access to a lot of information about the world around them — and they might need your support to help them process it all.

No matter what your teen is going through, being a source of support is mission-critical.

The definition of trauma bonding is often confused or debated. This graphic describes the cycle that may be learned in childhood and reemerge in relationships formed in adulthood.

As always please be collegial and supportive in your responses, thank you 🙏

Wow! Yesterday's Autism Evaluation Clinic was a HUGE success! We are so grateful for the families who signed up and showed up! You truly are the VIPs of this experience and we appreciate your feedback, thoughts, and praise.

It was amazing to see the...relief these families expressed upon getting an answer to whether or not their child or loved one was on the spectrum. It was also so gratifying to help folks struggling with additional issues get a diagnosis and some clarity about what's going on in their lives.

While we are all resting today from such an intense day, I want to give a big shout out and thanks to Victoria Haddad who was our Social Worker on site, Dr. Catherine Hallam with Chapter & Page Counseling, and of course, my lovely front office staff who kept all three providers and families flowing through the evaluation stops--Gina and Alyxandra, you are rock stars and we love you.

I have ideas on ways to improve the compressed evaluation clinic, and we will definitely be doing another day around August or September. If you'd like to sign up now, just call us at 865.444.4037. We are here to help!

We've noticed a marked increase in veterans seeking independent medical exams (IMEs) with disability benefits questionnaire (DBQ) requests.

While we at RPS are happy to provide this service, we want vets to know that they never have to pay for a Compensation & Pension (CP) exam (which includes an evaluation and DBQ completion). That is available to all veterans per their retirement/end of service package. It's a sort of benefit.

That said, there are some veterans who still choose to seek an IME and DBQ from us, so we wanted to share this infographic to kind of explain the options. As a rule, Dr. Robinson will always first encourage the veteran to go through the VA (usually by contacting a Veteran Service Officer) to get the C&P exam and DBQ done without charge.

Many veterans tell us they prefer to have the ability to choose the examiner given we can usually get the veteran in quicker for these exams than the VA can.

In any event, please call us if you have any questions. We are happy to talk with you and try to help.
