Re: Re: [GC-AS] North Coast Education and Tutoring Service in Northeast Ohio

[Guest guest]

I hate to be the dissenting voice here, but IMHO, North Coast is only in it for the money. They gladly take the $5/hr fee tacked onto each tutor's hourly rate and do nothing in exchange. I realize, however, that many parents need to do this in order to pay tutors through the scholarship (my ABA consulting agency allows me to do this). I think perhaps $2-$3/hr might be more reasonable. It can add up when you have many hours of ABA a week.Most of us that use the scholarship, use up more than the allotted amt, anyway. I've seen parents just pay the tutors out of pocket and apply the scholarship elsewhere (OT, speech, school, etc.). If you can't afford to do this, however, I think north coast may be the only option :(Amy 1@... wrote: Thanks Joy, I'll keep the info for future parent reference.

If you need to apply the scholarship, I would also like to suggest STEPS Center

for Autism in Olmsted Falls. Several of their tutors live out on the East side

and work for families in the Solon, Beachwood, Twinsburg and Youngstown areas.

The number is 440-377-0029 Ask for , Liz or Jackie

We actually use STEPS and are happy. They train their own tutors and you can choose to pay them what you want (or what the center charges as an hourly tutor rate).Amy"Jepperson, E." <JeppersonJE@...> wrote: If you need to apply the scholarship, I would also like to suggest STEPS Center for Autism in Olmsted Falls.
