Our services
Psychoeducational Assessments
When the psychologist’s work is complete, we step in to ensure families feel confident about next steps. After receiving a psychoeducational assessment, many parents wonder how to turn the report’s findings into effective support at school. Our team carefully reviews the assessment, explaining the insights and guiding you through the process of using this document to benefit your child’s education. Partnering with psychology clinics across southern Ontario, we provide seamless support so that families have a clear, actionable plan for their child’s learning journey.
Individual Education Plans
IEP Development
Our IEP Development service supports families in creating a new, individualized education plan that truly reflects their child’s unique strengths and needs. We review all relevant assessments and collaborate with parents to recommend accommodations and modifications that foster success. From start to finish, we ensure the IEP is designed to support your child’s educational journey and set them up for progress.
IEP Revamp
If your child’s current IEP isn’t meeting their needs, our IEP Revamp service provides a detailed review to identify gaps and recommend improvements. We assess the existing plan and create actionable recommendations to enhance its effectiveness. With supportive communication tools, we help you advocate for adjustments that will optimize your child’s learning experience.
Advocacy Support
Our Advocacy Support service offers both in-person assistance at school meetings and hourly sessions to empower parents to become confident advocates for their child. We provide the tools and knowledge needed to navigate school systems, including customized communication, advocacy support plans, and discussion guides. By working closely with families, we ensure they feel prepared to advocate for their child’s needs both during meetings and beyond, fostering an active and informed role in their child’s education.
Whether you’re facing a conflict with the school, struggling to get the right programming/supports in place, or need assistance in achieving a particular goal, our team of educational experts will ensure you’re supported.
It’s impossible to advocate for the support your child needs without knowing what supports are possible.
