A staff member can attend a parent teacher conference with you.
Initial phone call to discuss what your goals, questions and concerns are for the conference.
During the meeting, we will clarify points, ask questions on your behalf, take notes and help to develop a plan of action for your child.
After the meeting, a detailed document will be sent to you with suggestions for supporting your child.
We also can attend student evaluation and IEP meetings.
Cost:
$350 ($150 if your child is a current client) includes two-one hour meetings (planning and the conference) and follow up notes. Typically, conferences take one hour or less. If the conference is more than one hour, or if more than one follow up conference is required, there would be an additional fee of $75.
$75 if you would like our services to help plan for your conference and be provided a conference outline. We would not attend the meeting with you for this fee.
