Frequently asked questions
We require meeting weekly for services and we ask for a commitment of 12 sessions. The sessions are set up with your specialist at an agreed time for the duration of the school year and breaks until canceled. Clients must have a valid payment source on file (credit card or ACH). We utilize auto-pay and auto-invoicing for all clients.
Billing goes out every 2 weeks (14 days) on Monday for the upcoming 2 sessions. The invoices are automatically emailed and the payment is processed upon being sent *. Payments are considered delinquent if not paid within 3 days of the billing date, with 1.5% interest added on late invoices. We require one responsible party for invoicing and can provide copies of the invoice to multiple parties, as needed.
*Unless you have worked out another arrangement with our billing department i.e. third party payor or institutional billing.
Our experience has shown that establishing a robust coaching relationship and effectively teaching and practicing new skills require a certain duration.
We require weekly meetings for our coaching services and ask for a commitment of 12 sessions. The 12-week period allows our coaches and students to develop a relationship, teach necessary skills, and give students ample opportunity to practice and integrate these skills into their daily lives. This structured timeline is essential for creating lasting change and ensuring that the improvements we work towards are sustainable.
We've found that shorter engagements often do not provide enough time for substantial development and may lead to regression once coaching concludes. Our goal is to avoid a scenario where families feel they are starting over after prematurely ending the coaching process.
However, we want to ensure our families feel comfortable and confident in their coaching matches. That’s why we offer a match guarantee. Should you find that the coach isn't the right fit for the client after the first session, we can work with your family to understand the issue and propose a solution.
