How I Work
A thorough process built around your child
What sets my approach apart is the depth of preparation before I ever recommend a school. A good recommendation requires a complete picture of the child — not just a stack of evaluations.
We start with a 30-minute complimentary call to understand your goals and your child’s needs. If we’re a good fit, we schedule a thorough intake to establish a full picture of your situation.
I review all relevant school records including evaluations, IEPs, 504 plans, report cards, and progress reports — the full paper trail that tells me who your child is as a learner.
I speak directly with your child’s therapists, tutors, and teachers. Their insights are often the most candid and revealing part of building an accurate profile.
Where possible, I observe your child in their current school environment. Seeing them in context — how they interact, where they struggle, where they light up — is irreplaceable.
For middle schoolers and up (or younger if parents feel it’s appropriate), I talk directly with your child. Their perspective matters and often shapes my recommendations.
I deliver a written recommendations report, walk you through it, and make direct introductions to admissions contacts. I present your child’s profile to schools and work alongside you throughout the application process, which includes guidance on preparing you and your child for school visits and interviews.
