Assessment

The assessment process strives to establish a baseline within four distinct areas of your child's and family’s current situation. These areas are:

Intellectual: The intellectual realm breaks down into academic performance, belief systems, and thought processes. Learning disabilities are considered in the physical category.

Emotional: Emotional well-being breaks down into behavior, environment, and self-esteem or perception of self.

Physical: The physical in terms of sleep patterns, exercise routines, and eating habits are instrumental factors relating to personal performance. Physical disabilities, learning disabilities and mental illness are examined. 

Relational: The over all culture of your parental community, your child’s peer or lack of peer relationships, the inter relations between all family members and communication skills in general.

This all-inclusive assessment process begins with phone or face-to-face interviews with each family member, establishing perspective on the above four categories. Extended family or friends may be consulted, with permission. During these phone interviews, we will establish goals for the individual and the family.

• All professionals, deemed relevant, will be consulted. This includes teachers, counselors, doctors, law enforcement officers, therapists and any others.

• All previous testing will be examined and in some cases, further testing may be recommended in order to further understand the child's level of cognitive, learning, emotional, and social functioning.

• An assessment of your child's personal safety and emotional well-being is of primary interest in deciding whether your child can participate in the family plan while remaining in the home.

Whenever possible it is my primary goal, as your family consultant, to keep your child successfully moving forward while remaining in the home. If we decide together, through the assessment process, that your child requires out of home placement, I will be there with you at no additional charge to put together a highly qualified group of professionals assuring you the best possible placement. If you choose to contract with me while your child is placed out of home, we will develop a family plan for success that includes out of home care. I will act as an advocate for you and your child in their new placement, making sure that everything goes accordingly. You will receive my support and benefit from my experience every step of the way.

At this point, a family plan for success will be presented to the family for review and modification. This plan will be yours to do with as you please; either accepting it or utilizing it on your own. By utilizing my consulting services, you allow me to do two crucial things, assist you with measurable change and help you modify the plan for success on a weekly basis. The latter allows an organic process to take place where by the family marks their successes and continues to build upon them towards the desired results.
