College Related Questions
When do I start the process?
Typically, students begin the process during
their junior year, but some students like to come earlier to get tips on what
activities to involve themselves in or which courses to take in 9th and 10th
grade.
Do you help prep for
the SAT?
Referrals are made to professionals who help prepare students for the SAT or
who may need help with specific subjects.
Can results be guaranteed?
Every effort is made to enhance a student’s strengths and position them
for admission to an appropriate institution; however, it is the student’s
credentials which will ultimately determine their admissibility.
Special Needs Related Questions
Are therapeutic programs worth the cost?
Special purpose schools and programs are very expensive.
Ms. Kahn, as an experienced and competent professional, can increase the odds
that the first choice of a
school or program will be the “right” choice, helping to avoid additional
failures for the child. Being able to reduce the possibility of losing time and
money, as a result of an inappropriate placement, is crucial.
Why can't I just use the Internet?
Although you will find a large amount of information on the Internet, it can
be overwhelming and confusing. It is important for a child to be placed in a
school or program that meets their specific needs. To make a good match between
a student and a school, one must see them in operation. Ms. Kahn makes a comprehensive
study of each school through personal visits so she can recommend them to parents.
Are scholarships or financial aid available
for therapeutic programs?
Most programs do not have scholarship help available; therefore, costs are usually
an out of pocket expense for the parent. However, educational loans and other
methods of creative financing can be used to fund the cost of these schools.
What if I wait to send my child away?
Trends in adolescent substance abuse show teenagers do
not “outgrow” chemical
addiction problems and without treatment, addiction increases. Additionally,
once a student falls behind, it is often difficult to catch up and be successful.
Compromised self-esteem may lead to even more serious behavioral issues, which
may limit options, especially as the child moves toward the legal age of adulthood.
Are results long-lasting?
Ms. Kahn’s experience with her clients has shown
that families become reunited after their child has spent the requisite time
in a therapeutic or emotional
growth program. More open and honest communication occurs and as a result, her
clients achieve success both in school and in their personal lives. They are
able to transition to either a public or private school once they return home
or choose to go on to college.
