If parents agree to the plan, services are provided by the West Windsor-Plainsboro school district. All consultants are New Jersey Department of Education approved and state-certified. The main on-site services include augmentative evaluation, neurological services, occupational therapy evaluations, psychiatric services, psychological services, physical therapy evaluations, and speech and language services.
