• If you are trying to decide whether or not the Hiram G. Andrews Center is the right fit for you, they offer a two to three week evaluation that includes an opportunity for you to "try out" some of the program areas to determine whether or not that program matches your interests and skills.

• If staying for two to three weeks seems too long for you, there is an evaluation known as CREATE that is a one week long evaluation.

• If you are experiencing difficulty with your academic and occupational skills, which would be determined during your evaluation, a remediation program is offered.
