Holidays & Make-Up Sessions

Monday Holidays

There are numerous Monday holidays over the school year. Make-up sessions are guaranteed for students whose regular sessions fall on the following days:

• Indigenous Peoples’ Day - Oct 13
• January 5^th
• MLK Jr. Day - Jan 19
• President’s Day – February 16
• Memorial Day – May 25

Additional Services

Additional fees apply for professional services beyond regular sessions, including but not limited to:

• Parent conferences
• Student updates
• School meetings
• Report writing
• Emails and phone calls (exceeding 5 minutes)
• Travel time

These services will be billed at $235.00 per hour in 15-minute increments, with payment due on or before the date of service.

Communication Preferences

Parent updates must be requested via email, as they are scheduled and billed (email summaries, phone calls, or meetings). Each family may have different preferences for communication; it is up to each family to determine what works best. Please allow up to two business days for email responses.

Cancellation, Illness & Make-Up Policy

Sessions must be canceled with at least 24 hours’ notice to be eligible for a make-up. In-person sessions will not be held if either party is sick or exhibiting symptoms. However, the 24-hour cancellation policy still applies. If insufficient notice is given, the parent agrees to forfeit the session.

Up to two make-up sessions per quarter are permitted. These will be offered on Friday afternoons or during open slots when other students are absent. Parents are responsible for scheduling these sessions within the same quarter. Make-ups must be completed within the quarter; no pro-rating will occur.

Late Arrival & Pick-Up

If a student is more than 20 minutes late, the session is considered forfeited and cannot be rescheduled or credited. If a student arrives at the session late, and under 20 minutes, the session will still end at the scheduled time regardless of arrival time.

A $35.00 late fee will be charged if a student is picked up more than 10 minutes after the session ends.

Commitment & Termination

This agreement reflects a semester-long commitment. A strong therapeutic relationship is essential for student success. Abruptly ending services may be emotionally disruptive for the child.

Discontinuation

If parents choose to discontinue services, a four-week notice is required to allow for final assessments and proper closure. If services are terminated without notice, the client agrees to pay the equivalent of four sessions, $940.00.

For Cause Termination

Erin Powers reserves the right to terminate services at her sole discretion for cause or professional concerns.
