What Comes Next?

Our Outplacement Coordinator, Wardlaw Directors and the child's learning team work together with parents to determine when a child is ready to leave the Wardlaw School.

Our Outplacement Coordinator visits public and independent schools to ensure we maintain a mutual understanding of students, programs and curricula.

When a family chooses to apply their child to an independent school, our Outplacement Coordinator:

• Collaborates with parents to select a range of independent school options, usually 3-5 schools
• Meets with admissions directors during the admissions process to advocate for the child
• Supports and stays in touch with parents as the child transitions to the new school setting

When a family chooses to register their child at a neighborhood public school, our Outplacement Coordinator works with the parents and public school personnel to:

• Set up a 504 Plan
• Develop an Individual Educational Plan (IEP) if the child qualifies
• Provides the school to which your child is advancing with documents summarizing your child’s learning style and citing all pertinent assistive technology and strategies that will support academic success and independence in the new classroom setting
