Project SKIP Benefits for Families and Homeschoolers
Project SKIP is a simple and inexpensive way to identify and alert families and homeschoolers to any signs of academic, behavioral, and emotional issues that may interfere with a child's learning and development. Using a simple and inexpensive process affordable by even the most modest households, SKIP screens more comprehensively for issues, identifies why difficulties may be occurring, and provides the framework for designing effective, research-based interventions.
Participating in SKIP does NOT result in a diagnosis, but rather gives families the opportunity to review the interpretation provided by Dr. Bonny Forrest and her team and allows them to consider next steps.
