1. Intake Interview: When you first make contact there will be a brief consultation about: the child’s problem, what you are looking for, what you have tried, and how LPS can help your situation. We can make an appointment for a free, initial consultation to discuss your situation in more detail. LPS may also suggest no- cost actions for you to try vs. using our services. For example, letters you can write, answers to questions you can research on your own, phone numbers of agencies to follow up with, what the public schools might be able to provide to help with the issues you have. We want to be sure that when you make the commitment to work with us you understand your options and what LPS can do for you, so you can make an informed decision about using as much or as little of our services as you need. |

2. Information gathering:
Releases of information will be needed to talk to schools, agencies, and professionals already involved with your child and to have them release to us any previous academic, medical, and diagnostic records that have been done on your child. A questionnaire will be sent to you for a social history on your child. You will be asked to fill out the questionnaire before the first appointment with your child so we can understand your concerns and to get your important input on your child’s development. Depending on circumstances, a questionnaire may also be sent to your child’s teacher with your permission. If you child is in school and has a potential learning problem or social problem, we may want to observe the child in his school environment if this is agreeable with you and your child’s school. |
