Yes. Educational testing services can be used for students in public and private schools and in both the grade school and college settings.
What does an educational consultant do?
An educational consultant works with families to assess a student's educational needs and, when necessary, act as an advocate on behalf of the student to help develop and coordinate programs and services that will increase the success of a student in the school setting.
What if I or my loved one needs more than outpatient substance abuse treatment?
AFHC staff provide a throrough assessment of your individual needs and help determine a treatment program that will best address those needs, as well as provide a referral to an inpatient facility if needed.
What is wilderness therapy?
Clinical research has repeatedly demonstrated the therapeutic benefits of nature, wilderness settings and adventure-based activities. For certain patients experiencing depression, mood disorders, self-esteem issues, substance abuse issues or the effects of ADHD, wilderness therapy programs offer an alternative approach to traditional, office-based “talk therapy.” Rehabilitative wilderness expeditions are able to combine wilderness living and adventure-based activities with individual, group, and family therapy to create a positive environment for personal growth and development.
