SIP - School Intervention Program
The School Intervention Program provides assistance and guidance for patients and parents who are unfamiliar with available school services. In addition to the coordination of services, a school visit is offered to help administrators, teachers, school nurses and counselors understand the medical and psychosocial needs of the patient and to establish communication between the school and the medical staff. SIP also provides neurocognitive testing which assesses for problems with learning, skills, memory, attention, language skills, visual motor abilities, mood and behavior, and is used to provide a comprehensive picture of how a child functions and learns. The results are used to provide recommendations for the student.
