Experienced School Psychologists, Special Educators and Curriculum Co-ordinators work with students with a variety of school problems. Individualized psycho-educational testing is available through our office as well as representation at school PPT – Planning and Placement Team - meetings. The staff at Education Solutions provides problem-solving consultation with parents, students and school personnel on academic, social and behavioral issues.

Alternative Educational Programs: There are times when students require alternative educational programs that may include structured programs and schools for the underachiever, therapeutic boarding schools, wilderness programs, residential treatment centers and alternatives to college. A decision to place a child in an alternative setting is stressful for an entire family; our experienced staff is there to support the family’s needs and through extensive research, determine the most appropriate placement in a time of crisis. After a child is placed, we provide on-going assistance to the family and professionals working with the student and facilitate post-program options in order to enable a student to return to a more traditional setting.

Referrals for students with school problems come to Education Solutions from pediatricians, counselors, classroom teachers, school administrators, psychiatrists and families, themselves. We are skilled in working with other professionals to insure that a student’s needs are confidentially and competently met in a timely and well-coordinated manner. Our team includes members of the Connecticut School Psychologists Association, and we regularly attend national conferences sponsored by NATSAP – National Association of Therapeutic Schools and Programs.
