Consulting with PACE when you get home

When your family returns home, the PACE Place professionals are available to consult with you by telephone and/or email.  Once we have all gotten to know each other, it can be very powerful for families to chat with a member of the PACE staff to get fresh ideas, a new perspective, or review concepts discussed during the week’s visit.  We feel very connected to families during their week at PACE Place and we love to hear of your triumphs and wish to continue to support future challenges.

Many of the families who have visited PACE Place choose to join the online chat group dedicated solely to families who have had the PACE Place experience.   The support and guidance that families share with each other is extremely valuable.  The PACE professionals are members of the chat group and provide additional input to questions and concerns posted there.

For the first month upon your family’s return home, you may schedule two telephone consultations with any member of the PACE Place staff for no fee.  We are committed to your continued success and we want to hear from you.  You may consult with whichever professional is best suited for your question or concern (i.e., Kathi Calouri, Eric Hamblen, or Steve Ryan).  After your first two free telephone consultations, you will be able to continue to consult with the PACE staff, pro-rated appropriately at the following rates:

Katherine Calouri, Ph.D.:  $115 per hour

Eric Hamblen:  $100 per hour

Steve Ryan, MA, CCC:  $100 per hour

Many families have a relationship with a consultant in their home communities and they often continue working with that person after their visit to PACE Place.  Any member of the PACE Place staff would be happy to collaborate with a family’s educational team or local consultant.

In additional to telephone consultations, Kathi, Eric, and Steve are dedicated emailers and are happy to respond to any email thoughts, concerns, or questions you may have.  If your question cannot be handled appropriately by email, a telephone consultation will be scheduled and billed at the above rates.
