A conversation over the phone will help us gather preliminary information about your child's situation and understand a little about your concerns.  

We'll schedule a time when you and your child can visit our office together for an intake appointment.

The intake appointment will begin with a few minutes for us to get to know each other, to discuss your concerns in a little more depth, and for you and your child to feel comfortable in our office space.

We'll use a variety of screening measures and informal assessments to gather information relative to your concerns.  

Reading:  If your child is finding it difficult to keep up with reading in school, we'll work to uncover what may be holding him/her back.  

Executive Function/Study Skills:   Some students find it difficult to make the transition from elementary to middle school.  There may be frustration building both at school and at home because assignments either aren't getting done or aren't getting passed in.  We'll conduct a semi-structured interview that covers the student's habits and learning styles, as well as gain insights into his strengths and weaknesses.

*Plan for this appointment to last between 1 and 1 1/2 hours.

*Please bring prior academic testing or school reports with you to this appointment.

Payment is expected on the day of your intake appointment.

Within a week or so of your intake, you will receive a written report detailing the assessment results and recommendations for remediation. 

Once you and your family have taken some time to read through the report, we'll discuss your learning goals.

If you decide you would like to move forward with tutoring or executive skills coaching we'll establish a plan for regularly scheduled sessions and get started!

**Tutoring or coaching must be a decision for both the student and the parent(s). Your child is at the center of the process, and we'll work as a team.  Student buy-in is crucial to success!​  Once ongoing instruction has been established and maintained, parents and others will begin to notice a gain in confidence and a happier overall disposition.
