    Initial Consultation

    All LAS services begin with an Initial Consultation. During this time, LAS reviews academic reports, transcripts, and neuropsychological or psychoeducational evaluations, if applicable. The Initial Consultation is the first step in building a trusted working alliance. It provides an opportunity to listen and clarify learning goals, workflow, and a timeline. The Initial Consultation helps set expectations, identify concerns, and explore previous academic and test-taking experiences. Following the Initial Consultation, LAS provides a written report with an Individual Education Plan and measurable outcomes.
