The REACH Family Institute sees families from throughout the United States and the world at its headquarters 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 "working vacation" when they come to REACH for their consultations. This atmosphere provides parents with an ideal learning environment as they work together to help their child reach his or her potential.

Children on the Home Program in the United States are eligible for one of two program plans (Level 1 or Level 2) depending on their level of function.

Level 1 Plan

• Designed for those children who have significant problems in function. This includes children whose problems range from moderate learning difficulties to profound neurological problems.
  
  
• Contact REACH with a full description of the child’s problems and a request for an appointment.

Level 1 Plan Initial Evaluation Week - 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.

  Level 1 Plan Re-evaluations - Every four to six months for two days.

Level 2 Plan

• 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 Level 2 Plan 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.

Level 2 Plan Initial Evaluation

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

Level 2 Plan Re-evaluations - Every 4 months for 1/2 day (three hours).
