The plan is especially useful for developing an appropriate IEP, with goals and objectives that are not only appropriate, but simple to quantify progress.

Curriculum Development                      

An initial overview overview of a client's medical, psychological evaluations, and educational history is conducted as part of the intake process. Once a workshop date is scheduled, your consultant will make an appointment 

 

If your child attends other educational settings, an observation of that setting is scheduled prior to the initial workshop date. A videotape of such setting can be sent to your consultant in lieu of an observation.
