THE ASSESSMENT PROCESS:
According to the need of the family AIS is able to provide a one day, three day, or seven day assessment for the client.
If parents are unsure what to do, and are beginning to think about sending their child to a Wilderness program or RTC, let AIS provide an in depth family and individual assessment.
We will engage the family in the home, observing how the family functions on a daily basis, communicates with each other, and the behavior that is creating chaos or negative interactions within the family.
Many times parents feel there is no other option or that they have met once or twice with a consultant who has tried to do their best to assess the family and the child, but just does not have all the information.
The goal is to provide the necessary supportive services so that the family is not forced to make a decision that would require the removal of their child. AIS will provide the necessary assessment to help the family determine the next step.
The results of this assessment may be a referral to a program,, though we will offer information that will provide the adolescent with the ability to achieve success in the least restrictive environment. If the family has hired an educational consultant, we will review the results of the assessment with them so that they can help the family make an educational and knowledgeable decision.
Best of all, this assessment may be covered by insurance.
