Educational Consultation and School Placement

Our educational consultation team can help you determine the best school placement for your child, working with your family throughout the entire process.

Starting with a thorough review of records and a meeting with you and your child, we can assess whether your current services are ideal, or if a different kind of school would be more appropriate. Suggestions may range from mainstream to specialized school environments. Likewise, we can help determine when children are ready to move to a learning environment that is less-restrictive. We can also recommend activities for gifted children, and whether or not a student would benefit from a gap year between high school and college.

Navigating what differentiates schools and programs can be confusing for families, but our learning specialists have extensive experience helping parents form a plan for finding the learning environment that will work best for their child.

Our school consultation includes:

• Review of records such as any test results, report cards and neuropsychological reports
• Meeting with parents and child
• School observation, if necessary
• Contact with all professionals involved in your child’s care such as therapists and educators
• A meeting to discuss feedback and recommendations for next steps
• A list of appropriate school placements

We can also provide ongoing consultation including:

• Outlining the application process including important deadlines
• Assistance with submitting applications
• In-depth school placement services such as tours, team meetings, application support and coordination with admissions departments
• Monitoring progress and providing ongoing recommendations
• Referrals for intervention providers
• Coordinating and leading team conversations with therapists and educators
• Providing recommendations for formalized testing
• IEP advising and advocacy
