Aloha family,
I am writing to let you know that I will be offering appointments for you and for your child whom I see during the school year. I want to ensure that you and your child feel supported during this stressful time. If you would like to schedule appointments please let me know. I have the ability to do video conferencing (similar to facetime) through several platforms (WebEx or Google Hangouts). Both of these are FERPA (Family Education Rights and Privacy Act) compliant, this is federal protection required to ensure student privacy If you choose to have either phone or video sessions I want to remind you about the importance of confidentiality, specifically thinking about where you are when you or your child are talking with me during the session. I would recommend finding a quiet place without others around so that our time together will be confidential. I will be meeting with you from my home and I will ensure that I have a confidential space to meet you. Please know that I am here for you and your family during this time and I hope that we will be able to schedule a time to meet.
Regards,
Traci Nakamoto
