Business Policies
I. Commitment
In order to achieve the goals we have established, we strongly encourage consistent attendance. While we understand that there are times life gets busy, your child will experience the best results by coming to all planned sessions on time and for the complete duration.
II. Cancellations
If you give at least twenty-four hour notice, you will not be charged for canceling a session. Without twenty-four hour notice, payment for the missed session will be invoiced. If you are late for a session, the session will still end at the appointed time and you will still be charged for a full session. If the therapist is ill or unavailable for a session, the client will be notified as soon as possible and will have the option of making up the session or crediting the missed session to the next billing.
III. Payment Schedule
Payment is expected prior to service rendered based on a payment plan agreement made with Eukarya Christian Academy.
IV. Holidays
Holidays will be indicated on the Eukarya Christian Academy School Calendar. Other vacation times will be arranged at the discretion of the Educational Therapist. Ample notice will be provided.
V. End of Services
Educational therapy forms a strong relationship between student and educational therapist. Abrupt termination of services damages that relationship and can be hurtful to a child. Thus, when parents decide that it is time to end services for any reason, four weeks notice is required. This is to allow for final assessments and to allow for closure between student and educational therapist.

Services and Schedule of Fees
Eukarya Christian Academy takes pride in the personalized, research-based support we can offer your child. Helping your child feel confident and to love learning is our goal.
A dyslexia therapist or reading specialist will personally guide your child through a multisensory program of explicit, systematic instruction for both reading and spelling. These programs are clinically diagnostic and prescriptive, multisensory, intensive, and results driven. For dyslexia, effective interventions should include training in letter sounds, phoneme awareness, and linking letters and phonemes through writing and reading from texts at the appropriate level to reinforce emergent skills.
Your child can work with a reading specialist to learn how to:
- Sound out letters and words ("phonics")
- Read more quickly
- Increased comprehension
- Write more clearly
A couple of reading programs that are geared toward kids with dyslexia:
- Orton-Gillingham. This is a step-by-step technique that teaches kids how to match letters with sounds, and recognize letter sounds in words.
- Multisensory instruction teaches kids how to use all of their senses – touch, sight, hearing, smell, and movement – to learn new skills. For example, your child might run their finger over letters made from sandpaper to learn how to spell.
Dyscalculia: A trained specialist will work with your student to identify this learning challenge and provide remediation. Persons with dyscalculia have marked, persistent problems in applying the basic methods of arithmetic and in knowledge of math facts (the multiplication table).
Initial Intake/Assessment:
Includes consultation with students, parents, teachers, student's doctors and psychologists to assess student's current social-emotional functioning and determine appropriate therapeutic strategies and interventions to address needs.
Counseling/Behavioral Coaching:
Includes individual counseling/coaching and/or group counseling to address social- emotional needs related to anxiety/depression, ADHD/ADD, anger management, impulse control, self-esteem, interpersonal skill deficits.
Quarterly meetings with parents and case management.

Step 23
Occupational Therapy
School based occupational therapy practitioners support academic achievement and social participation by promoting occupation within all school routines. Therapy provided within the school setting is designed to enhance the student’s abilities to participate in the educational process. Occupational therapists help individuals to do and engage in the specific activities that make up daily life. For children and youth in schools, occupational therapy works to ensure that a student can participate in the full breadth of school activities. Including paying attention in class, concentrating on tasks, appropriate posture, pencil grip, and classroom behavior.
Occupational therapists may be recommended for an individual student for reasons that might be affecting his or learning or behavior, such as motor skills, cognitive processing, visual or perceptual problems, mental health concerns, difficulties staying on task, disorganization, or inappropriate sensory responses. The occupational therapist accesses the child’s skills and other problems (including behavior), in addition to his or her visual, sensory, and physical capabilities. Vision Screening is an additional service offered by our Occupational Therapist and is conducted at school. Please contact The Learning Center for more information.
A Cognitive Developmental Program to strengthen cognitive abilities and decreases learning, emotional, and social challenges, to help students achieve their fullest potential. "It is a progressive system of physical, visual, auditory, vestibular, and cognitive exercises meant to strengthen existing neural connections and, more importantly, to create missing neural pathways which may inhibit one's ability to learn." (www.equippingminds.com)
Includes observation of a student in classroom setting (if appropriate), review of intake form, consultation with student/teacher/parents, formal & informal assessments to determine appropriate plan of care & goals.
