REACH Home Programs

Any child or young adult who is functioning below age level is eligible for the Home Program, regardless of when the problem first appeared or its degree.

Children and young adults often come into the program previously diagnosed with Brain Injury, Learning Disability, Developmental Delay, Reading Disability, Dyslexia, Cerebral Palsy, Epilepsy, Hyperactivity, ADHD, ADD, Autism, PDD and Asperger’s syndrome, Trisomy 21 (Down syndrome) and other congenital syndromes. Many children have no diagnosis.

Charles and Conceição welcome families and members of the REACH community, from throughout the United States and around the world, to their home base in the beautiful Rogue Valley of Southern Oregon.

Located midway between San Francisco and Portland, the Rogue Valley’s many cultural and natural attractions enable families to have a life changing vacation when they come for their consultation.

Charles and Conceição ensure families an empathetic, nurturing and relaxed atmosphere. The experience is part spiritual retreat and part summer camp.

Intensive Home Program

Designed for those children who have significant problems in function. This includes children whose problems range from moderate learning difficulties to profound neurological problems. To obtain a full description of the child’s problems, contact REACH for more information.

Intensive Home Program - Initial Evaluation
Each family is seen for three days.

First day includes a detailed developmental history, a functional evaluation, a series of physical measurements, and an explanation of our findings.
Second day is a day of conferences to explain the "why" of the program.
Third day involves the teaching of the specific program designed for each child.

Intensive Home Program - Re-evaluations
Every four to six months for two days.

Learning Challenges Program

Designed for children who are in regular or "normal" school but having mild learning and/or behavior problems. Contact REACH with a full description of the child’s problems and a request for an appointment. REACH staff will determine a child’s eligibility for the Learning Challenges Program based on information provided by the parents.

"Foundations of Learning" Seminar
A required seminar in brain development designed for parents of children with learning difficulties.

Learning Challenges Program - Initial Evaluation

One day (six hours), including developmental history, functional evaluation, explanation of findings, and teaching of specific program designed for the child.

Learning Challenges Program - Re-evaluations
Every four to six months for two days.

The International Program evaluation follows the same steps as the Intensive Home Program (see above).
