Educational and School Supports

Helping students thrive at school, at home, and in the community.

CAPS-C provides Educational & School Support Services for children, adolescents, and families who are experiencing academic, behavioral, emotional, developmental, or school-related challenges. Our services are designed to help identify learning needs, clarify educational concerns, and provide practical recommendations that support student success.

Our Educational Diagnostician services may be used independently or combined with CAPS-C’s psychosocial supports as part of a multidisciplinary care approach.

Our Approach

Our team takes a whole-person approach by looking at the connection between:

  • Learning and academic performance
  • Emotional and behavioral concerns
  • Attention and executive functioning
  • Family and environmental stressors
  • School attendance and discipline concerns
  • Social development and peer relationships
  • Need for accommodations, interventions, or specialized support

 

Concerned about your child’s school performance or learning needs?

Schedule an Educational Consultation to discuss your concerns and determine the best next step.

Educational Services Disclosure

Parents and guardians should be aware that certain educational evaluation, assessment, and support services may be available through their child's public school at no cost. Eligibility, scope of services, timelines, and evaluation processes are determined by the school district and applicable state and federal regulations.

CAPS-C provides independent, private-pay educational support services for families seeking additional assessment, consultation, advocacy, care coordination, or individualized recommendations. Our services are designed to complement, not replace services that may be available through a child's school. Families may choose to utilize CAPS-C services to obtain independent perspectives, expedited support, multidisciplinary recommendations, or assistance navigating educational and community-based systems of care.
