School and Teacher Consultations

The director and other learning specialists are available for school consultations and meetings. Charges are for the time of the meeting, in addition to travel time. Parents must be available for a brief phone consult the night before and all school meetings must be authorized through the front office. Our staff frequently serves as consultants and work collaboratively with school personnel as they develop educational programs for students.

Special Education Consulting

Our special education consulting focuses on procedural and technical support. After an evaluation from us ⁄ school ⁄ institution; or a combination, we formulate a clear annual or biannual plan. The intake and ⁄ or assessment are used to come up with the ideal learning environment for the student to thrive and remediate academic skills.

Reviews of services and programs that may be best suited for the student are given as well as recommendations for IEPs and other special education services. The agreed upon plan is reviewed on an annual or biannual basis and evaluates progress within the specified program.

Parents are highly encouraged to also meet prior to any school meetings to clarify what are the recommendations that need to be put into place and to formulate written suggestions to the schools.
