Clinically Informed Academics® (CIA)

A Model For Social, Emotional & Metacognitive Learning

By combining clinical knowledge and academic interventions, we are able to improve the overall functioning of students socially, emotionally, and educationally. Our model teaches students how to compensate for their learning weaknesses and/or social-emotional distress.

Clinically Informed Academics®

Clinically Informed Academics® (CIA) incorporates evidence based approaches that consider the whole student when formulating effective individualized learning strategies. Our method is designed to help students improve academically beyond what traditional methods can achieve. 

All of our academic interventions are based on validated methods that have been put through scientific rigor and are proven to be effective.
