Some families come to us with a recent neuropsychological evaluation. Others are just starting to ask about what is possible for their child. Either way, the work begins with listening — not paperwork.
If there’s an existing report, we translate it into something a family can act on — what it says, what it doesn’t say, and what it changes.
Maps of the schools that fit — by profile, season, and the realities of admission.
Walk into the meeting prepared. Walk out with a plan that holds.
When something shifts mid-year, we move with you — quickly, calmly, and with expert guidance.
The field of special education is 50 years old, and we know a great deal about how to support and educate students with a wide range of learning profiles. But no one has met your child before. Our special education planning and consultations are built uniquely around them — exploring the possibilities for your child to thrive with their neurology, within the environments that are realistic for your family. Within the public or private systems, we can find the way forward.
Anonymized snapshots of students we’ve worked with — the profile they arrived with, the placement we helped secure, and the plan that carried them.
Profile
Bright, verbal student in a large independent school where reading demands were quietly outpacing him. Recent neuropsych pointed to dyslexia and inattentive ADHD.
Placement
Transition mid-year to an Orton-Gillingham–based program with small classes and an embedded learning specialist.
Plan
Weekly reading remediation, accommodations memo for the new school, and a six-month review with the family and the new team.
Profile
Twice-exceptional student — gifted verbal reasoning, significant executive function and writing challenges. Public school IEP in place but underperforming.
Placement
Private middle school known for supporting 2e learners, with a structured writing program and advisor model.
Plan
IEP-to-school-plan translation, executive function coaching, and family-side support for the application and revisit days.
Profile
Honors student whose mid-year anxiety escalated into school refusal. Family arrived in crisis, unsure whether to push through or pivot.
Placement
Therapeutic day school for the remainder of the year, with a planned return to a smaller independent high school the following fall.
Plan
Coordination with the clinical team, weekly check-ins through the transition, and a re-entry plan built with the receiving school.
Profile
Strong STEM student with a long-standing language-based learning difference, beginning the college conversation with low confidence.
Placement
Targeted list of colleges with robust LD support programs; matched to a best-fit program offering structured academic coaching.
Plan
Updated documentation, accommodations strategy, and application support sequenced around testing and senior-year load.

If a recent evaluation already exists, we work from it. If a clearer picture would help, we draw from a curated set of tools and recommend only what’s genuinely useful.
