If cost is a barrier

We offer need based scholarships and price consultation on a sliding scale with a referral from grant-based local advocates, and in other cases if schedule allows.

If we cannot make the numbers work, the free consultation still stands, and we will point you toward public options: how to request a school evaluation, what your child is entitled to under an IEP (Individualized Education Program, the plan public schools write for students who qualify for special education), and where to find advocacy help.

Our Commitment to Equity

We are committed to working against the way that racial and socioeconomic privilege manifests itself in the identification and remediation of learning disabilities.

We do what we can by offering need based scholarships, providing services in some of Maine's lowest resource schools, and working pro-bono with grant based educational advocates for Maine's most economically disadvantaged students with the toughest cases. This is how we do what we can to help ALL students get what they need.
