The Educational Consulting Plan

We believe that a successful outcome begins with a well-conceived plan. It is important to emphasize however, that this process can be accelerated to 24 hours or less if the safety of the child is in question. Many of the steps outlined below can be performed after the safety of the adolescent is assured.

At the initial meeting we cover the following topics:

  1. Review of school transcripts.
  2. Review of available testing data.
  3. Obtain a list of all professionals with whom we may need to speak.
  4. Discuss the current situation.
  5. Discuss parent goals for the child.
  6. Discussions with involved professionals and other parties, i.e. therapists, teachers, and friends.
  7. Formulation of a plan. We work with the family to create a profile of your child's emotional, physical, academic and intellectual needs. Once we have met with the child and the family, reviewed transcripts and talked to all concerned parties, we can formulate a plan. This may include local alternative schools, specific therapeutic options, residential programs or a combination.
  8. Execution of the plan. Having pre-screened the child, we will contact schools or programs that are suitable for the child's needs. We work with the Admissions Counselor to determine whether the child is a good fit, and if there is room for placement. The family can interview among the recommendations and choose the one that best meets their needs at each step in the plan.
  9. Follow up and plan adjustments as necessary. As agreed upon, plan is not a static event. We will continue to stay involved in the progress of the child. If after the initial step, assessments and evaluations reveal new conditions, we will coordinate with the family and adjust to these changed circumstances.

Grossi & Associates, Inc., has no affiliation with any school and receives no compensation from any school or program for placement. We work directly for the family. Our professional commitment is in finding the right place for each child.

The process begins with a phone call in which it is determined whether or not alternative placement is appropriate for your child. If it is determined that an assessment is needed, we begin by meeting alone initially with the parents, then followed by an interview with the child (if possible).
