Admissions Procedures
Referrals to The Learning Center are accepted
from funding agencies, parents and other interested parties.
Referrals should be directed to the Admissions
Director, either by phone, fax, e-mail, or in writing.
Written referral packets containing the candidate's
most recent educational plan and evaluations are reviewed for appropriateness
for the program. If the candidate is deemed appropriate, the Admissions
Director will contact the referral source, schedule an observation
in the student's current placement (optional), and schedule an Intake
Evaluation.
At the Intake Evaluation, the candidate is
seen by members of the clinical team; whenever possible, this evaluation
occurs at The Learning Center. Prior to the evaluation, a Pre-Intake
Summary describing the student, the reason for referral, placement
history, functioning level, etc. is prepared with information from
the referral packet; this summary is then routed to clinical team
members to help them prepare for the Intake Evaluation. The Intake
Evaluation consists of assessments in the areas of Functional Academics,
Speech and Language, Employment Skills, Behavior Management and
Residential Skills. While a candidate is involved in the Intake
Evaluation, those accompanying her/him are given the opportunity
to tour the program and learn about The Learning Center's policies.
In addition, they are interviewed for Psychological/Social and Medical
History information.
Within two weeks of the Intake Evaluation,
the clinical team meets to discuss the suitability of the applicant
for The Learning Center. If the team is unable to reach a decision,
a list of questions may be generated and the team may request that
the applicant re-visit the day and/or residential program. A maximum
of two visits, which may include an overnight visit, are scheduled.
A final decision will be made within one week of the second visit.
If a student is enrolled in the program, parents and interested
parties receive an Admissions Handbook and a list of contacts specific
to their student.
Upon acceptance and prior to admission, we
require the following information: the student's immunization record,
written doctor's orders for medical treatments, a supply of current
medication, health insurance information, consent forms signed by
the student's guardian, a placement agreement signed by the funding
agency and guardian and emergency contact information.
For more information, please contact the
Director of Admissions.
