child's academic situation to a comprehensive analysis with
recommendations on appropriate placements. The process starts with
a meeting at my office or in the client's home or school, or in a
mutually convenient location to determine interests, goals, abilities
and specific needs. (For international families or families not in the
northeast, the initial meeting takes place on the phone). After this
meeting, I will develop a working plan and share it with the family. I
maintain an extensive network of schools and programs, and know
the admissions officials at those schools. I make recommendations
only after a careful and thorough analysis of all pertinent school
records. Fees vary and are based on extent of services provided.
