Assessment
Through our comprehensive evaluative and assessment process, we are able to identify each child’s specific needs and requirements for determining the best placement choices. Our assessment components include:

• In depth parent/guardian interviews
• Intensive developmental history on each child
• Consults with key professionals involved in child’s care
• Student interview and testing, as appropriate
• Professional review of all available educational and psychological records and documentation
• Summary of psychosocial, emotional, behavioral, familial and academic evaluation

Recommendations/Placement
When considering placement for one’s child, most parents feel that they have “just this one chance to make the most impact on their child’s life”. They are often overwhelmed with information from brochures, websites, and videos – not really knowing which schools or programs are reputable and which ones just look reputable. Entrusting their child’s care to another must first entail more than an internet connection or risking the choice to chance.

As dedicated educational consultants, 25-30 % of our time is spent visiting and evaluating schools and programs across the United States. Knowing the various nuances of each allows us to bring a wealth of knowledge to the decision making process – especially when determining the most suitable environment for success for each of our clients. Our placement components include:

• Identifying most appropriate options for placement
• Preliminary screening with admissions, academic and clinical staff at recommended schools/programs
• Consult with parents to discuss specific placement options
• Familial support throughout admissions process
• Ongoing support to parents and referrals to local resources
• Continued monitoring of student’s progress through matriculation of selected school/program

Aftercare
Research has indicated one of the determining factors of a child’s continued success once back home, is largely due to the nature of a supportive environment within the home and within each family’s community. Our relationships with local professionals, along with our detailed knowledge of support services and educational offerings allow us to help each child put into place a strong and workable transition aftercare plan. Our aftercare components include:

• Recommending specific supportive services (social skills development, learning related, tutoring and recovery maintenance)
• Recommending college and career counseling
• Recommending specific local school placement options
• Recommending key clinical professionals for the student, parents and family as needed
