Is the assessment a diagnosis?

No. It is a set of screening questions that gives your clinician a starting point. Only the clinician's evaluation decides whether a letter is appropriate.

Can I stop and come back later?

Yes. Your answers are saved on this device as you go, so you can return to this page and pick up where you left off.

The clinician who evaluates you and the small team that coordinates your order. Your answers are never sold or shared with your landlord.

Which state do you live in?

If you are moving, choose the state of your new home. Your clinician must be licensed there.

Your state requires a 30 day relationship with the clinician before a letter can be issued. The clock starts when your clinician begins your evaluation, and your letter follows it.

Colorado sets its own rules for professionals who make an emotional support animal finding. Your clinician, licensed in Colorado, applies them before deciding, which can affect your timing.
