Not sure where to start with academic or college planning?

Academic Coaching

As a parent or caregiver, your natural goal is to prepare your child for success in their future endeavors. While supportive school settings naturally aid in this developmental process, no learner, nor their goals are the same. While comprehensive testing helps to identify and create an individualized blueprint of your child’s learning, socio-emotional, and executive functioning strengths, knowing how to utilize this information as you navigate your child’s school or college planning process can be confusing. School placement, scheduling/class planning, IEP/504 Plan accommodations, ACT/SAT accommodation eligibility , and school supports are not always known nor available to parents/students. We can connect you with an Educational Specialist with whom has over 20 years of experience working with students to provide a 1:1 individualized academic or executive functioning plan. This individualized plan will help your child build necessary skills, keep track of important academic deadlines/goals, and begin planning for their future the day they enter high school or college.
