FAQs

Common questions and answers

  • How much do you charge?

    Phone consultations and general case managing are provided free of charge. In most instances, when we refer to an outside professional for a screening or classroom observation, a minimal fee of $100 is paid to the professional. When the screening is done within the organization, the same $100 charge applies.

  • Who does the screenings?

    Our evaluations and classrooms observations are provided by a select group of professionals that work hand-in-hand with the organization to guide parents. They are not employed by the organization and get paid per screening.

  • Where does the money go?

    The $100 fee is paid to the evaluator. When the evaluation is done by ZKCS, the fee covers a small part of the overall cost.
