- Educational Therapy is considered an independent and privately offered service to individuals and their families. Rebecca O’Brien’s time, professional trainings, program certifications, association memberships, and business expenditures (taxes, insurance, instructional materials, equipment, and business fees) are all from her own expense.
- The current professional rate for Rebecca O’Brien’s services is $145 / hour. This rate applies to: sit-down sessions (including intake meetings), progress updates, educational assessments, writing reports, parent-teacher conferences, Allied Professional consultations, home/class observations, and creating/updating learning plans each semester.
a. A travel fee for each home visit will be added for the ET’s time and convenience.
b. This professional rate will increase on January 1 of each fiscal year to adjust for inflation and overhead costs.
c. A discount may be applied/withdrawn per family at any time, as decided by the ET. - Any invoice marked “final” is a formal request for payment. It contains a list of the services and work for the previous month and can also be updated for any recent changes to services given. Any errors should be communicated and corrected by email.
a. Invoices are postmarked by e-mail as .pdf and will clarify the deadline for payment.
b. Invoice estimates are sent at the beginning of the month for scheduling purposes. Then again, at the end of the month the final invoice will be sent. - The ET reserves the right to discontinue sessions if payment isn’t received after 2 weeks or if any payment is leveraged for any reason. Pre-payment or same-day payment method may be requested for the rendering of any and all services related to educational therapy.
a. If there are conference meetings, billable administrative work, and/or other fees that occur after a payment is made, these will be “rolled over” to the next invoice. - Late Payments: Please be sure to make invoice payments on or before the 2-week deadline stated on the final invoice. A $20 per day late penalty fee may be added to the next invoice to any outstanding balance that remains after this deadline is missed.
- All student materials, games, or tools are purchased by the ET, then itemized at-cost (including tax/shipping costs) and placed into the next invoice for parents.
- If services are discontinued by either party – for any reason – any and all fees and charges incurred up to that point in time (current or past due) shall be duly paid to Rebecca O’Brien within 10 days after a final invoice receipt is be given to clarify dues. Parents will be held liable for any legal expenses incurred by the ET in the collection of past due invoices or unpaid services.
I have read and agree to the above guidelines and expectations for ET services.
