Our discovery process can determine the optimal school size and location for the individual student. Dunbar can help with school selection, applications and recommendations for evaluations, as well as tutors and coaches. Our families choose between a comprehensive program or an a la carte program, specifically tailored to their needs. Therapeutic Schools & ProgramsFamilies in crisis dealing with troubled youth benefit from an experienced consultant who can mediate within the family and help them evaluate options in conjunction with their health professionals. Whether dealing with depression, low self-esteem, drug and/or alcohol abuse, learning disabilities, poor academics or a combination of the above, parents need to know there is a safe program/school that will successfully treat their child. Our consultants have the experience to sort through the multitude of schools and programs, determining which will best address your child’s specific issues. On a regular basis, we visit and evaluate schools and programs on academics, clinical expertise and therapeutic milieu. Subsequently, we offer the student an appropriate program and stay in frequent contact with both the school and family during this highly stressful period. In some instances, the complete treatment will be a multi-program process in which an educational consultant is critical to coordinate the entire process. Therapeutic School Visit List
