IEP Clinics
IEP clinics are held weekly and provide a one hour meeting for individual consultation. We will review your child's IEP and latest evaluations, discuss your concerns and provide you with information, recommendations and support. The consultations are offered at LifeLinks (in Chelmsford) and EMARC (in Wakefield) for a nominal fee. While IEP Clinics are not offered over the summer, you can contact The Parent Coach LLC at any time for "just in time" consultation. Click here to contact us!
