Kids

At Bodin, we most often work with the families of teens and young adults. We do work with younger students in preschool through high school in legal cases where a third party professional is needed to help decide about school plans/selection.  This can be particularly beneficial if there are special concerns regarding the student’s progress and needs .

We often include the following steps in consulting with these families:

• Observing the child in his/her current school

• Communicating with professionals who know and have worked with the child

• Visiting schools suggested by each parent

• Meeting(s) with the child

• Conferring with the child’s teacher(s)

• Reviewing school records and test results

• Advocating for the most appropriate school

• Preparing a written report

• Participating in mediation or court hearings
