Student Shadow Day
Once the application is complete, the student will be invited to spend part or a full day on a proposed host-site with one of our REACH classes.
On these days, students are expected to participate in all activities to the best of their abilities. Classroom visits give us an opportunity to observe the child in social as well as academic group settings to ensure that placement decisions take into account all of a child's strengths and weaknesses.Enrollment or Consultation
If we determine we are a good match for your child's needs based on what we have observed and assessed to be his or her strengths and weaknesses, an enrollment offer will be made. If, however, it is determined that our existing openings are not suited to meet your child's needs, a consultation with the director is scheduled to discuss other options in the community.Most enrollment offers are made by March 1. However, applications are processed until all spaces are filled, which may be anytime during the year.
