  • Participation in person or by video
  • Plain-language explanation of results for the family
  • Spanish-language participation when the family needs it

Who delivers it

The evaluator or therapist who worked with the student, whenever possible; otherwise a qualified professional briefed on the record.

Where

  • On your campus
  • By secure video

Questions districts ask

Will it be the same person who evaluated the student?
That is the goal and the norm. Families trust results more when the person who tested their child is the one explaining them.
Can they join by video?
Yes. Video participation is common for rural districts and counts the same for the ARD record.
Do you translate for Spanish-speaking families?
Better: bilingual professionals participate in Spanish directly, and written translation of documents is available as a separate service.
How is time billed?
Hourly at the published rate, including agreed preparation time, all documented.
Can you attend a contentious ARD?
Yes. Calm, plain-spoken explanation of the data is exactly what a hard ARD needs, and our professionals are experienced in them.
