Solstice Behavioral Health knows the importance of creating environments that are accessible and supportive of our children’s needs. We work to achieve this goal by providing support systems and educational opportunities for educators, parents, and school staff. Our School Consultation program provides various assessments, reviews, evaluations, and observations to help these facilities improve their support for neurodivergent children.
How Our School Consultation Helps Schools and Students
Our team consults with multi-disciplinary teams in private and public schools to address barriers impacting a child’s education. Our team values the importance of taking a multi-disciplinary approach to understanding and working through the challenges a child, family, and their team may be facing within the educational setting. Consultation can range from student assessment to treatment, IEP development to program development, needs assessment to professional development, and behavior intervention plans to ensure treatment fidelity, just to name a few focus areas of consultation. Our greatest impact is made by taking a collaborative approach when providing coaching to school teams and families.
