The Academic Answers Process
After establishing a contractual relationship, Academic Answers works in a timely manner to evaluate the child's needs and to provide the family with recommendations.
Based on our experience, the following steps have been established to ensure a successful process.
- Parents provide all school, medical, social and other pertinent records to Academic Answers.
- An interview with the student is conducted.
- Parents participate in the initial recommendations meeting in person or over the phone.
- When school changes are recommended, in most cases, the parents contact and visit the recommended programs. Parents are provided with a list of questions for use during the visits.
- Once a school or program is selected, Academic Answers initiates the enrollment procedure. Parents complete the school applications.
- Academic Answers is available to help coordinate transportation arrangements, as needed.
- Parents attend a post placement meeting with the professionals to develop a plan for monitoring their child's progress.
- The process for Crisis Intervention Services is abbreviated to fit the needs of the crisis situation. Interventions can be implemented within 24 hours.
