Admission Guidelines

 

To begin the referral process, please send the following to the admissions office:

      • Recent educational testing, including a cognitive assessment and academic achievement testing.
      • Pertinent school records, i.e., current IEP.
      • A psychological evaluation or neuro- psychological evaluation.
      • Hospitalization discharge reports, if any.

 

    1. If the student is an appropriate candidate, after reviewing the referral information and speaking with professionals, a member of our admissions team will contact you to arrange a parent visit and interview. Note: it is important that both parents are actively involved in treatment planning process.
    2. After review of parent visit.
    3. Determination of referral must be defined with respect to 3rd party, educational, and/or private placement.
    4. If appropriate, a student interview is scheduled. Note: this is an important step in the admissions process.
    5. A half day or full day visit will be scheduled.
    6. There will be a parent notification, after a review of the student’s visit, as to the following steps.

a. If the student is an appropriate candidate, parents will receive confirmation of a diagnostic placement.

b. A service plan or placement team meeting will be scheduled with all applicable parties (i.e., school district, parents, and TLC staff) to discuss and plan the 40 day diagnostic period.
