What We Do

Therapeutic facilities

When family circumstances and special needs require consideration of alternative programs, professionals -- psychologists, social workers, psychiatrists or school counselors -- refer families to Educational Planning Services for help.

Because of Porter-Shirley's knowledge and working relationship with therapeutic programs and the manner in which she works with families, the professionals turn to her for help with adolescents who "act out" in school or are in counseling because of drug and alcohol abuse. To help her meet each child's individual needs, she visits and stays in touch with a variety of therapeutic programs and facilities. She is thus able to find an intervention program suited to the problem.
