Educational AdvocacyEducation and inclusion specialists are recommended when there is concern about an individual's performance in the classroom and/or if previous behavioral and therapeutic interventions have met with limited success. The focus of the consultations can vary from identifying academic challenges to providing behavioral support.
Assessments can be performed individually or as part of the multidisciplinary assessment team at the Melmed Center. |
