How the Program Works

• Our Program Directors and parent will complete a referral form. If you have questions, please contact the ECMH team at ecmhc@collaborative.org.
• One of our clinicians will conduct virtual consultation with the educators and parents to create a team support plan to help the child be successful in their school setting.
• We meet with parents and teachers together to create a support plan which includes strategies to help the child at home, in school, and in the community.
• Referrals for speech, language, and sensory screenings; or for ongoing therapy, may be included in the plan.
• Whole classroom and program wide services are also available and will be delivered virtually.
• The time frame for services is typically 3-6 months.

For Parents

We know that you are the expert on your child. This is why your involvement in this process is critical. You will be asked to participate in a comprehensive assessment to provide information about your child’s history, strengths, temperament, and development. You will also be asked to join the early educator or childcare provider and our clinician, in planning and trying out possible solutions.
