Consultation to Parents and Professionals:
A consultation can address any questions you have within my areas of expertise.
What are some of the questions I could ask?
Here are a few examples of issues parents and professionals brought to a consultation.
-
My child acts in ways that I do not understand. Should I be concerned?
-
I think that my child is autistic. I have concerns about an evaluation. What should I do?
-
My child is melting down after school. What do I do?
-
My child spends hours doing homework, and it often goes unfinished. What do I do?
-
My child is always late for school. What can I do?
-
I do not understand my child's reactions to my words and actions. What do I do?
-
My child spends hours isolated in their room. What do I do?
-
I have an autistic client, and I do not know how to work with them.
-
I have an autistic student in my classroom, and I have no idea how to help him.
-
I am an advocate and have an autistic client on my caseload... I don't know what she needs.
What can I expect from a consultation?
You can expect to receive specific feedback and actionable steps related to your questions. I strongly recommend having pertinent information and documents readily available for sharing or forwarding during a consultation. These can include diagnostic information, IEPs, private and public school evaluations, progress reports, incident reports, history of services, and other relevant records.
I do not review any documents or background information prior to the consultation. I will look at relevant documents while we are speaking. However, at your request, I am available to review documents prior to the consultation for an hourly fee of $250, billed in 15-minute increments.
