The Delaware ESA Evaluation, Step by Step
No mystery, no shortcuts: exactly what happens between your intake and a Delaware-licensed clinician's determination — and what happens if criteria are not met.
From Intake to Determination
Every applicant follows the same structured, licensed pathway — no shortcuts, no rubber stamps.
Step 1 — Structured Intake
A validated symptom inventory covering presentation, history, and daily functioning — roughly 10 minutes.
Step 2 — Licensed Review
A Delaware-licensed clinician evaluates responses against DSM-5-TR-aligned criteria.
Step 3 — Telehealth Consultation
Where clinically indicated, a live video consultation is scheduled — evenings available.
Step 4 — Determination
Documentation is issued within 24–48 hours only when criteria are genuinely met.

A Delaware-licensed clinician evaluates your intake against DSM-5-TR-aligned criteria and schedules consultation if indicated.

Questions We Hear Most
Direct answers from our clinical team.
What do I need before starting?
Nothing beyond honest answers. No referral, no prior diagnosis, no documents.
Can I be declined?
Yes — and roughly that honesty is why approved documentation holds up. Declined applicants receive a full refund.
Who sees my information?
Only the Delaware-licensed clinical team. Documentation discloses need, never diagnosis.
When should I renew?
Annually in most cases — housing providers commonly expect documentation dated within 12 months.
