Q: Do children have to be in a special education program prior to attended The Grace School?
A: No, students from both general and special education backgrounds may enroll. A diverse group of learners are welcome, including students who often “fall through the cracks” in more traditional classroom settings.
Q: What is required to begin the admissions process?
A: After an initial online inquiry is made a tour is scheduled. The family then completes the online application and an initial placement evaluation is scheduled.
Q: How do I prepare for my child’s initial placement evaluation?
A: Complete the online admissions process prior to your child’s evaluation.
Q: How long does the placement evaluation take?
A: The initial evaluation typically takes 4-5 hours. Sessions are conducted during the school day.
Q: What does the evaluation measure?
A: The evaluation is an assessment of your child’s current development. It is performed by a credentialed ABA professional and helps our TEAM gain a thorough understanding of your child’s skills, case history, challenges and gifts. The results of the evaluation help to develop an instructional plan for your child. Currently in Arkansas, a primary care physician does not need to prescribe an ABA evaluation or reevaluation before it is performed.
Q: What happens after the placement evaluation?
A: Once the evaluation is complete, a follow-up meeting is scheduled to discuss the results and review recommendations. It may take several days for the evaluator to complete your child’s formal evaluation report.
Q: How long will it take to know if there is placement availability for my child?
A: If the parent wants to proceed with enrollment following discussion of the evaluation report, then the parent may be notified of a placement or waitlist status within 1 day to up to 2 weeks of the evaluation review meeting. If placed on our waitlist you will be notified as soon as a spot opens.
Q: Are transportation services provided?
A: The Grace School does not provide bus services. Parents are responsible for transportation.
