We serve students in grades 5-12 whose families and teachers have unanswered questions about students’ educational needs. The Assessment Center is a school within a school, where students spend up to 45 days learning social skills, self-control and self-advocacy, while continuing to pursue the learning they started in their home school district. Our team of experts assesses students’ educational and social/emotional needs in a safe and calm environment.
