Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to the questions parents ask us most about advocacy, literacy support, and BCBA supervision.
Tutoring focuses on academic skill-building in a specific subject. Educational advocacy goes further: we help families understand and navigate the special education system, communicate with schools, attend IEP/504 meetings, and ensure students receive the services they're legally entitled to. Cornerstone combines both under one integrated plan.
We support students and their families across grades K-12, from foundational elementary literacy and behavior support through high school academic coaching, IEP/504 advocacy, and college/test prep.
An IEP (Individualized Education Program) and a 504 Plan are both formal plans schools use to provide support to students with disabilities, though they differ in scope and legal framework. We help parents understand which plan fits their child, prepare for meetings, review proposed goals and services, and communicate effectively with school teams.
LETRS (Language Essentials for Teachers of Reading and Spelling) is an in-depth professional development program grounded in the science of reading. Our LETRS-trained instructors use structured, evidence-based literacy methods to help students build strong reading and spelling skills, especially those who struggle with traditional instruction.
We offer both, depending on the service and your family's needs. Academic support, advocacy consultations, and BCBA fieldwork supervision are all available remotely, with in-person options where applicable.
Start by scheduling a free consultation through our contact page or Educational Services Interest Form. We'll discuss your student's needs and recommend a personalized plan combining the right services.
Our BCBA fieldwork supervision provides individualized guidance aligned with BACB standards, including case discussion, applied skill development, ethics and exam readiness, and structured tracking of your required fieldwork hours, delivered remotely or in a hybrid format.
