Intake & Assessment
The process kicks off with a phone consultation with one of our client services enrollment specialists. After gaining a thorough understanding of the family’s specific needs, we assign an assessment coach who conducts an in-depth evaluation with both the student and their family.
Implementation
After completing a detailed assessment, our evaluation team collaborates with the Student Success department to craft a personalized plan. This custom strategy focuses on enhancing executive functioning skills through weekly sessions. The frequency and length of these sessions are determined by the recommendations in the assessment report.

The assigned coach works closely with the Student Success team to continuously assess progress and identify key areas for development, refining strategies through deliberate execution or necessary adjustments.
