Choosing the right school for your child is not always simple. 

I understand.  You want the school and program that best meets your child’s strengths and needs.  There are many factors to consider when choosing a school.

I visit schools regularly; I observe classrooms and tour facilities.  I am familiar with the full range of schools, resources and programs in the Greater Toronto area and in southern Ontario. 

 

I provide counselling and support with information, advocacy and personal attention to your individual needs.   I offer professional, objective counsel to help you make these important decisions about your child’s education.

Services include:

• Consultation on the best schools and programs for your child's needs:
  public, private, independent, special education.
  
  

• Guidance and support for families with special education concerns: 
  IEP (Individual Education Plan); IPRC (Identification, Placement and Review Committee); accessing resources within the public system and the private sector; reviewing assessments of learning strengths and needs.
  
  

• Advocacy and case management, to coordinate and facilitate communication between family and educational, medical, psychological and other support services.
  
  

• Referrals to professional colleagues for psychoeducational assessments, remediation and tutoring services, social skills programs, parent education and support resources, psychological counselling and psychotherapy.
  
  

• Relocation services for families new to the Greater Toronto Area.
