School Team Consultation
At Wellshore Psychology, our School IEP (Individualized Education Program) and Section 504 Plan Team Consultation service is designed to empower families with the knowledge, resources, and advocacy skills necessary to ensure their child receives the support they need in an educational setting. We recognize that navigating the IEP and Section 504 Plan process can be complex and overwhelming for parents. Our goal is to bridge the gap between families and schools, ensuring that each child’s unique learning needs are recognized and accommodated effectively.
