I prefer to receive records electronically, via email, dropbox and/or flash drive. However, where this is not possible, I will borrow copies of your paper records and return them after I’ve written the report.

SCHOOL VISIT (if applicable):

  • Please introduce me to your child’s teacher or case manager via e-mail.
  • Sign a permission with the school district.
  • Complete an Confidential Authorization to Release Information form (PDF, discussed above) for the school. Circle “obtain from,” which means I will get information from the school but will not share any information with them.
  • Provide me with names and phone numbers for teacher and principal.
  • Let me know if you have any preference for what time of day I visit or what activities I observe.
  • When I have the visit scheduled, please put that on your calendar in case you need to reach me if your child is sick or otherwise not in school.
  • On the day of the scheduled observation, please text me at 610-541-0710 if it turns out that your child will be absent.
