Initial Evaluation
The intake process includes a comprehensive psychosocial assessment, history and interview.

School Observation and Consultation
Observing a client in their educational setting is informative to the evaluation and treatment planning process. Observations provide an opportunity to see how students solve problems, interact socially with adults and peers, and respond to the structure of their learning environment. School-based consultation services are offered to public and private schools, agencies, families and individuals.
IEP Advocacy
Do you need support to assure that your child has the best educational program available to them based on their individual learning needs? I can help support initiating the IEP process at your child’s school, review IEP’s to make recommendations based on already completed psycho-educational assessments, attend IEP meetings, consult with school professionals, and teach students how to participate and self-advocate in their IEP’s.
Post-Secondary Transition
This is an important consideration for all high school students. How will your son or daughter prepare for a successful transition from high school to secondary education options or employment? Every student should have a transition plan that is individualized based on need, and includes a coordinated set of student-centered activities designed to facilitate the student’s journey from high school to post-high school life.
