Our Services
We use a CPS approach in all of our work to serve families across the United States. Collaborative Problem Solving® (CPS)is an evidence-based approach developed at Massachusetts General Hospital. It is proven to reduce challenging behavior, increase compliance, improve relationships, and help everyone build the skills they lack.

We schedule a 2 hour intake consultation so we can fully understand your needs and provide initial recommendations. Follow up consultations are available as needed at an hourly rate.
Collaborative Advocacy
Sometimes meetings such as IEP’s , 504’s can feel very overwhelming. We are here to help. We use a Family Partner model where we walk alongside, without judgement to help you reach your goals. We will be present with you for moral support and to speak up if need be. Make sure that you’re being heard and can support you in understanding your legal rights and navigating barriers as they arise.
