Educational Consultations

Assessments and recommendations to help your child, teen or young adult be successful in school or college. 

​

Parents will be given guidance in understanding laws and school district policies in order to advocate for their child and obtain appropriate services and accommodations.

​

If a child is receiving special education services, but making limited progress then an educational consultation, which may include attending IEP meetings, can make a big difference in obtaining the correct services through the school district.

Educational Consultations/Advocacy

Goal: Provide parents information and guidance to be a strong advocate for their child and obtain necessary accommodations and/or services through the school district and in the community.

​

Educational Consultations may include:

  • Interviews with parents and student

  • Review and analyze previous evaluations and school records

  • Interpret findings of previous evaluations to parents

  • School-based behavioral observations (as needed)

  • Attendance at meetings including Student Study Team, 504-Accommodation Plan and IEP meetings

  • Written summary of observations/recommendations

  • Expert testimony at fair hearings and due process hearings (as needed)

 

Total time and cost are determined on a case-by-case basis.

​

If you live in California and can not travel to Simi Valley, educational consultations can be conducted via telehealth, using a secure professional platform designed for confidential telehealth sessions.
