How do I get my child counseling? I got an rsa but don't even know where to start looking to find someone. There's no one in the school.
I need someone tops!!!! or its not worth going, my child will be very anxious and resistant.
Brooklyn, midwood area, preferably sundays, or after school.
I don't want a clinic like omni.

Hi- may I ask how you got an RSA? I have a CPSE child who would greatly benefit from social skills/counseling but since there is no issues like OT, PT, speech I have no idea how to go about getting evaluated?

Sorry, not sure if you could get just counseling. My child had seit and related services, then got approved for counseling at the turning 5 meeting.

RSA's are just for CSE cases.

yes, you can just get counseling services. But you will need a DOE evaluation (psych eval, parent meeting with a social worker). When it is just a child's behavior affecting their school work, and it's not an academic weakness, the DOE will offer counseling. In fact, the past couple of years they have been offering everyone with services counseling left and right.

At CPSE age you should be able to make a case for social skills/counseling on the basis of it affecting his or her participation in class activities. OT, PT, and speech are totally beside the point; it all hinges on education - you don't get speech therapy unless it hinders education, either. But if the issue is social skills then you should be asking for speech as well, they do just as much for social skills as counselors do. And SEIT. Go for it.

Any.
You can do it through an agency and they'll take care of the paperwork.
EvalCare
Omni
Yeled vYalda
Are all agencies that you can use.
