Learn Executive Functioning The Ladder Method way
Intake & Assessment
The process kicks off with a phone discussion led by one of our client service enrollment specialists. After grasping the family's requirements, we assign an evaluation mentor to meet with the student and family, delving deeper into their needs.
Implementation
After scrutinizing the assessment, our assessment team collaborates with the Student Success department to craft a strategy tailored to the individual's needs, leveraging The Ladder method. Subsequently, this strategy is put into action through weekly appointments. The frequency and duration of these meetings are determined based on the outcomes of the assessment.
Ongoing Evaluation
The designated mentor and Student Success team convene regularly to evaluate advancement and identify pivotal junctures for integrating or adjusting additional skill enhancement strategies for the individual.
