Case Management and Planning
Many families find that the work involved in overseeing a child with disabilities' services and educational program can strain the parent-child relationship. When managing goals and progress gets in the way of being mom or dad, families turn to Alexis for program oversight and planning.
Through a variety of practices we can provide you with summary reports that track your child's overall development (in school, private programming, regional center services, etc.) and we can help you understand whenyou may want to make changes.
Progress Review
A crown, otherwise known as a cap, is custom-fitted to your bite and is placed over your natural tooth or dental implant. We recommend this procedure for those who have an intact tooth without root rot. The tooth may be damaged or decayed on the surface.
what we can do:
We will review assessments and maintain a comprehensive timeline of skill development across domains you want tracked
We will collaborate with your various providers (in school, through the regional center, and any other providers you are working with) to prioritize your child's goals and service needs and come up with a plan of advocacy to maximize your child's programming through all available avenues
You can focus on being the support system your child needs
