Our Approach to Helping
How do we help students?
Choosing a college, deciding upon a major and discovering a career path can be exciting milestones in an individual's life. Yet, this is a time that is often filled with stress, anxiety, frustration and confusion. Studies have found that freshmen are transferring to other colleges by their sophomore year more readily than ever before, students are taking longer to finish their degree and many are dropping out.
Switching colleges, changing majors and feeling overwhelmed can be preventable. Proper planning and guidance can help students choose the "best fit" college and turn these precious years into a time of self-discovery. The student can put his best foot forward right from the start.
Our staff develops an individualized assessment package to address these issues. We obtain information about your interests, abilities, learning style and personality traits. We utilize this information to move you on a path toward completing your education and getting you started on the next stage of life - a career that fits you. When indicated, we evaluate for other factors that potentially impede educational success, such as cognitive weaknesses (including attention deficits), emotional conflicts and learning problems.
How do we help adults who want to change or begin a career?
Many people are faced with decisions about changing their career, returning to the work force after a leave (due to personal choice, illness or injury) or have a desire to engage in a career that they never thought was possible.
With our guidance, you will obtain valuable information to help you discover your career path. We will meet with you to review your past education and employment history, and we will administer tests geared toward your specific needs. As we work together and learn about your personal values, personality traits, abilities, interests and goals, we will assist you in problem-solving and decision-making.
Our staff will review testing results with you in a clear and concise manner while addressing your questions and concerns. We also teach resume-writing skills and job interviewing techniques. We offer training in time management, planning skills, and relaxation strategies. We can assist you with the college application process.
How do I make an appointment?
Call us at (631) 821-7214 or toll free at (888) 988-EEPS (3377) and we will be happy to meet with you. Intake appointments are generally given within one week. At our first meeting, we will develop an assessment plan. When your evaluation is complete, we will provide you with a comprehensive report; this will include a summary of your personality traits, interests and abilities. We will discuss this as it relates to your potential and make recommendations to start you on your college and career path. |
