Sessions
1. Sessions are conducted virtually, at our Oakland clinic, or at any other location agreed upon in advance with Strategies for Learning.
2. As we create a schedule for the student, we take into account the best Clinician match based on his/her needs, the clinician’s availability, and your family’s preferred schedule. SFL cannot guarantee a specific day or time until your schedule is confirmed.
3. Sessions will begin promptly as scheduled. If the student and parent/guardian are not present at the scheduled time, your Clinician will wait 15 minutes for them to arrive. After this waiting period, the session will be forfeited and you will be responsible for the payment for this session.
4. The relationship the student develops with his/her clinician is a key factor in his/her readiness to learn. The addition of a family member into the student's session can dramatically affect his/her performance. Regular parent observations are not permitted during sessions. If you would like to observe a sessions, you must schedule an appointment in advance.
5. Sessions or meetings held outside the SfL clinic within a 5-mile radius will incur a $10 travel fee per trip, in addition to the clinician’s hourly rate. For locations beyond 5 miles, travel time will be billed at the clinician’s hourly rate, prorated in 5-minute increments. Fees are subject to change with prior notice.
6. We work hard and invest time and resources in locating and selecting Clinicians. As a part of our agreements, all Clinicians agree that they will not accept direct employment from any of our clients during, or for two years after, the Clinician works for Strategies for Learning, Inc. As our client, you also are required to agree not to enter into a direct contract with our clinician during the same period of time.
7. We reserve the right to decline or terminate service; any sums you have paid in advance that have not been applied to services rendered shall be refunded to you upon such termination.
