Admissions Procedures

Initial Contact: Meet with the director to tour the center and share information about our services and your child's needs. If you have written medical, health care or educationally related evaluations on your child, please bring them with you for the director to review. If the director determines that our services may be appropriate for your child, you will be given an application packet, if you do not have one already. A date and time for the evaluation for your child to work 1:1 with the director can be scheduled at this time or you may call to set-up an appointment. This step begins the admissions process.


Application

When you bring your child for the evaluation, if you have not already returned the paperwork, please give the director your completed application and signed “Permission to Share Information” forms. Please also bring a snack and a drink for your child as well as any favorite toys, books, etc. which are motivating for your child. Please also be prepared to pay a fee. All fees are provided in the Admissions Packet.
>> Application forms will be available to download soon!  


Evaluation
The director reviews any previous evaluations your child may have had with other professionals and works with your child one-to-one, observing his or her specific skill development in different areas. A variety of assessment tools are used depending upon a child’s age, grade, and needs. Another staff member may assist the director during the evaluation process. The director meets with you briefly at the conclusion of the evaluation for an interpretive. After the visit, the director provides a written report complete with observations and recommendations. Specific services that we will deliver, costs, enrollment agreement and starting dates are then reviewed. If further occupational therapy or speech-language therapy is recommended, dates for evaluations and scheduling may also be discussed. To help you better understand what your child is and will be experiencing, and what you can expect to experience as a caring parent, we will have presented you with a suggested reading list in your admissions packet. Many of our students’ parent have found the readings on this list to be very helpful, and we hope you do too.
