SCHOOL AND DAYCARE OBSERVATIONS

We visit the child in their educational environment — traditional school, Montessori, daycare — to observe social communication, classroom participation, and dynamics with teachers and peers. We produce a report and a specific accommodations plan for the school to implement.

FAMILIES WHO...

Families whose child is struggling in school, or whose school has requested an outside specialist consult.

THE PROCESS.

1. 1Pre-coordination with the school to define observation goals
2. 22-3 hour visit during a regular day
