Educational Services specializes in the development of programs specifically tailored to the individual client.
Based on the initial assessment conducted by Educational Services, an academic program is developed in conjunction with the client/LMR case manager’s long-term plan. Whether the plan for the client is to obtain a specific grade level, a GED, or preparation to re-enter the workforce with an upgraded skill set, their program will be individualized to meet their needs.
Educational Services uses a wide variety of assessment tools to determine the client’s start point and estimated time frame for completion of the recommended program. In addition to the initial assessment, Educational Services conducts bi-monthly formal testing to determine the overall retention, application, and progress of the client.
Educational Services endeavors to keep the client/case managers up-to-date by providing standard monthly progress reports which include instructor’s comments, feedback, and unit test results.
