Learning support assessment

Up to age 21

Learning support assessments for students and adult learners, offered alongside the counseling practice. An initial appointment typically involves a meeting of up to two hours with the parents or the adult student. Clear Skies does not bill health insurance for learning support assessments, though families with health insurance benefits may be reimbursed by their plan for the costs. New learning support appointments are scheduled online through a separate link from counseling appointments. The practice has worked with children and families since 2011, and its psychologists and therapists are all licensed in California.
