"We are specially equipped to help students with brain processing and executive functioning struggles." NOW IS THE TIME TO THINK ABOUT THE UPCOMING SCHOOL YEAR February is an ideal time for parents to explore educational alternatives for their children for the 2022-23 school year. The Marshall School will be holding a series of virtual open-house events to give parents a chance to learn about what it offers. Please visit TheMarshallSchool.org to reg- ister and receive information on how to participate. After attending an open house, parents will schedule a 15-minute intake call with school staff to talk specifically about their child's needs and determine whether the school is a good fit. Because The Marshall School's approach is built around tar- geting the specific processing challenges that each child faces, one of the most important parts of exploring enrollment is the evaluation educators conduct. Carson created this evaluation over her many years of research- ing how brain-based training techniques can help children improve academic skills. "We are looking at the whole person—their memory, attention, reasoning, how they think about what they see and hear, fine and gross motor skills, how their eyes are working, and then the academics," she says. "Our evalu- ation tells us exactly where the child is with brain processing and academic levels and gives us the information we need to craft a learning program that will serve those needs." Prospective students will be asked to come to the school in- person for this evaluation. They will also get the opportunity to spend a portion of a day at the school with students, so that families and school leaders can determine whether this custom- ized environment is the right next step in the student's educational journey.
