Depending on the child’s needs, our school might refer them for additional resources such as speech and language therapy, occupational therapy, and/or counseling. In all cases, the school will work in close partnership with a child’s family in order to best meet each child’s unique needs.

Nonetheless, some students may need greater accessibility or more support services than Mindful Montessori can provide. Our school will consult with other professionals to determine which services and support can best meet the needs of its students. In each situation, the student’s individual needs and the school’s resources should be carefully assessed through a partnership between the school and the family to ensure a successful match.
