The Board adopted a sliding – scale fee for Parent Assistance services which include comprehensive record reviews, explanation of evaluations, guidance on the appropriate programs and services for children with special learning needs, familiarity with special education law and attendance with parents at school planning meetings. The name of the Parent Assistance program changed to the Parent Advisor program, to reflect the changing role that the PA provided to clients. In addition, an adult testing program was created to assist adults who may qualify under ADA ( Americans with disabilities Act) for necessary accommodations at college or work. The program matches up eligible adults with qualified evaluators at a reduced rate.
