OUR MISSION

TO PROVIDE CARE-DRIVEN, STUDENT-CENTERED SUPPORT THAT NURTURES GROWTH THROUGH MEANINGFUL RELATIONSHIPS. 

We are currently accepting new Executive Functioning clients for summer and fall 2025.  If you are seeking clinical services, or have immediate urgent needs, please don’t hesitate to contact us. For all other inquiries, please expect a start date in June 2025.

Our services include:

Personalized, One-on-One Instruction (Virtual and/or In-Person)

After gathering information, listening to individual needs, and building rapport, our educational specialists create individual education plans.   Examples can include a combination of the following: 

  • Writing (includes handwriting, spelling, composition, creative writing, and research)

  • Reading (includes phonics, fluency, comprehension, and literature studies)

  • Math (all levels)

  • Project based learning and enrichment classes (varies, depending on student interest.) 

Organization, Executive Functioning Skills, Social Skills

For individuals of all ages, we provide we provide time management and goal-setting tools, while offering mentorship and encouragement. Self-advocacy and self-regulation skills are interwoven into our academic coaching services and are critical to lasting independence and success. 

Speech-Language Pathology

Our Speech-language therapists offer individualized instruction for students of all ages.  For younger children, we often target oral motor skills, articulation, receptive and expressive language, processing, sequencing, pre-reading and developmentally appropriate writing tasks.  Our therapists create individualized plans to help children learn to successfully navigate social situations, build their capacity for self-regulation, perspective taking, and social problem solving.  Because there is no one-size-fits-all approach, our therapists are committed to helping parents make sense of the school, home, and social demands that are placed on children.  Using a strengths-based approach, we offer guidance on how to prioritize time and resources.

Home-School Support

Sometimes parents find themselves homeschooling and are not sure where to turn for support. We work with families to create a plan for their child while they find the right school or therapeutic placement. We provide parent consultation as well as direct instruction to students during the school day.  

Parent Support and Advocacy

Being able to communicate and work effectively with school staff, when your child is experiencing learning challenges, can be overwhelming. Our goal at BES is to support families by working collaboratively with the team of professionals who serve their child. At BES, we emphasize a child-centered model as we support parents through 504 and ARD planning and meetings, school communications and school transitions.  Our unique team of parent coaches can assist parents in identifying and prioritizing the steps that need to be taken, to best support their child. 

Clinical Services

Our clinical therapists can provide neuropsychological testing and assessment, child/adolescent/young adult psychotherapy, family therapy, and parent coaching.

Neuropsychological Testing and Assessment

When a child, teen or young adult is experiencing academic and/or emotional challenges at school, work, or home, a psychological or neuropsychological assessment can provide helpful diagnostic information for support plans. Our therapist specializes in assessment of ADHD/ADD, Dyslexia and other Specific Learning Disorders, mood and anxiety disorders, adjustment disorders, and stress-related disorders.

A comprehensive assessment provides information about how brain processes affect behavior, particularly in learning situations and family dynamics, while also revealing both areas of strength and areas of specific challenges. 

Neuropsychological evaluation is tailored to the individual client and is efficient, thorough, and flexible. When recent assessment has been done elsewhere, a partial battery of tests may be used to clarify diagnosis and address remaining questions. Following completion of testing, a written report of clear findings and practical recommendations are shared at a feedback session.
