The Enrollment Process
Once we have received a referral we will request pre-evaluation material about the individual. Information requested may include a current Individual Education Plan (IEP) for education students or current program reports for adults. A recent medical exam, eye report, psychological and referral packet (to be completed by the family/guardian/agency) are also requested.
After the evaluation team reviews the material, we schedule an enrollment evaluation with the individual, family and agency if indicated. Depending on the type of referral, the evaluation team is comprised of the Residential Program Director, Education Supervisor, Teacher, Nursing Supervisor, Adult Training Facility Instructor and Executive Director. Upon completion of the evaluation the team reviews the information and recommends the program/placement. If the individual and family agree that Royer-Greaves is 'a good match', we notify the funding agency of the determination.
Enrollment is scheduled upon the completion of the paperwork required by the funding agency and Royer-Greaves.
