We start with an initial intake interview where we obtain a thorough history, gather records, and collect necessary paperwork. To get a full picture of the client's strengths, challenges, and needs, we will review any records and conduct interviews with relevant individuals (e.g., teachers, counselors, coaches). 

After gathering information and determining the optimal type of environment for the client, we provide a list of possible programs or schools. This phase is about getting you to a wise and informed decision, and we will do what it takes to help you make that decision. 

We maintain a relationship with you and the staff at the chosen program throughout the entire process. In the case of therapeutic placements, this includes scheduled updates from the primary therapist and conference calls to monitor progress.  

Our consulting contract includes basic coaching for transition and reunification after a residential school or program – a crucial part of the process. This is not meant to be a comprehensive transition planning service, though those services are available at an additional cost.

Many families supplement the educational consulting contract and take advantage of our additional services for parent support, transition planning, and/or experiential workshops. Contracts for these services are created on an individual family basis.
