At Solstice Behavioral Health & Consulting, we believe that collaboration between educators, schools, and behavioral health professionals is essential for the success of neurodivergent children. Our School Consultation service is designed to support schools and teachers in providing effective interventions and accommodations for students with diverse learning needs. Let’s explore how Solstice BHC partners with schools and teachers to create inclusive and supportive environments for neurodivergent children.
Understanding Solstice BHC’s School Consultation Service
Solstice BHC’s School Consultation service is a comprehensive program designed to support schools in meeting the diverse needs of neurodivergent students. Our team of experienced professionals collaborates with school staff to provide various assessments, reviews, evaluations, and observations. These services help schools identify areas for improvement and develop tailored strategies to support neurodivergent children effectively.
Assessments and Evaluations
One of the key components of our School Consultation service is conducting assessments and evaluations to gain a comprehensive understanding of each student’s strengths, challenges, and support needs. Our team assesses various domains, including academic skills, social-emotional development, behavior management, and sensory processing. These assessments provide valuable insights into how best to support neurodivergent students in the school setting.
Observations and Reviews
In addition to assessments, our team conducts classroom observations and reviews to evaluate the effectiveness of current practices and interventions. We observe students in their natural learning environments, looking for opportunities to enhance support and intervention strategies. Our reviews also include an examination of school policies, procedures, and practices to ensure they are inclusive and supportive of neurodivergent students.
Collaborative Planning and Implementation
Once assessments and observations are complete, our team works collaboratively with school staff to develop and implement individualized support plans for neurodivergent students. These plans outline specific accommodations, modifications, and interventions tailored to each student’s unique needs. We provide training and ongoing support to teachers and staff to ensure successful implementation of these plans.
Professional Development
Solstice BHC also offers professional development opportunities for school staff to enhance their knowledge and skills in supporting neurodivergent students. Our workshops and training sessions cover topics such as understanding autism, behavior management strategies, creating inclusive classrooms, and promoting social-emotional development. These professional development opportunities empower educators to better meet the needs of all students in their classrooms.
