Consultation Services
Resolve painful learning experiences by fine tuning an accurate assessment of your child's unique diagnosis and challenges.
Before coming to Clear Mind Psychology, many families have endured years of confusion about their children’s struggles. Often, children have been misdiagnosed. At Clear Mind, we believe that an effective plan begins with a comprehensive understanding of each child’s symptoms, their overall well being/lifestyle, and the environments they inhabit.
Our school and therapeutic consultation includes:
- Review of records such as any test results, report cards and neuropsychological reports
- Meeting with parents and child
- School observation, if necessary
- Consultations with all professionals involved in your child’s care such as therapists and educators
- A meeting to discuss feedback and recommendations for next steps
- A list of appropriate accommodations to bring to your local school district
- Monitoring progress and providing ongoing recommendations
- Referrals for intervention providers
- Coordinating and leading team conversations with therapists and educators
Who We Serve
Families with children ages 5 through 12 who have been struggling to find the right balance of support and stimulation at school are often confused and concerned. Often, children have been misunderstood, misdiagnosed or under treated. We help parents of children with learning challenges, twice exceptional children, children on the autistic spectrum or children who are just not able to take in all that their academic environment has to offer. Children don’t want to fail in school. There is usually a good reason that they are not functioning well academically. We help families decipher what is going on.
Getting to know you and your child and a thorough review of all pertinent information about your child helps us assess whether your child’s current interventions are optimal. We review 504/IEP plans, attend CSE meetings and walk parents through the journey of seeking accommodations from your school district or independent school. Your Clear Mind Consultation Team will include a therapist and a learning specialist. Our goal is to give you insight into your child’s unique learning and emotional profile. In addition to helping you work with your school system, we will refer you to professionals such as tutors, occupational therapists, speech and language specialists, and extra-curricular activities that will support your child’s growth.
