THE INTAKE PROCESS

  • Initial Call - The Administrative Director will complete an initial intake form and set an appointment for you to tour the school.
  • The Tour - During the tour you will have plenty of time to ask questions and pick up an application packet (to be returned with a $250 application fee).
  • Clinical Visit - A consultant will call you to schedule a clinical visit, without your child. During this visit, test results, professional assessments, report cards, health records and any other relevant information about your child will be discussed.
  • Observation - If appropriate, the Harris School teacher arranges to observe your child in his or her current school placement.
  • Child Visit - A visit is arranged with your child, The Harris School teacher and a consultant. The teacher will engage your child in a short activity (a play activity for the young child; an academic activity for the older child).
  • Decision - The Administrative Director, the Family Consultant and the teacher meet to discuss your child. If it is determined that the school's program could be helpful to your child, a transition plan is created, including a start date!
