Frequently Asked Questions

Where can I get a clinical evaluation for my child?

Below is a list of clinics that provide psychological evaluations. This is in no way a comprehensive list nor is FCSN recommending the qualifications of these clinics to provide services. Parents should use their own screening process when determining the appropriate service for their child. Parents may also want to check with their primary care provider to see if they are able to make a referral that may be connected with the insurance plan.

What are the FCSN membership requirements?

FCSN currently serves over 800 families and 600 special needs individuals. Even though a majority of the members are Chinese American from the San Francisco Bay Area, there are no restrictions on ethnicity and geography. To join FCSN, a perspective member needs to fill out an membership application form and pay a $50 one-time membership fee. Though not required, having an open and caring heart is a big plus.

To what does the $50 membership fee entitle me?

Members can join any of our 44 programs and activities such as family support gatherings(with seminars, children's play groups, and dinner), local play and therapy groups, and parent sharing. Members also have full access to FCSN library resources. Some of our programs require fee to cover the costs.
