A Different Perspective

RCHI takes the time to carefully analyze not just the academics and culture of colleges and universities, but their support services and how they integrate those services into the fabric of the school.

The RCHI Process

  • During the exploration phase, building a relationship with the student and family is the priority, while working with you to review their current status. We then guide and assist in developing a comprehensive college list based on your student’s unique attributes and geared toward a perfect fit.

  • Guiding you through the complex nature of the application process is paramount during this phase. You will have us at your fingertips, as we assist your student in every aspect of the college application process.

  • Strategizing and understanding the nature of the various application cycles and the implication of each one is critical to the decision phase. We help you make the best possible decisions based on the information at hand, guiding you through the pros and cons of each step.

  • Ensuring that your student is going to be successful is the hallmark of this phase - many educational consultants finish their work when a decision is made on where to attend. We work with you to develop a comprehensive support system on and/or near campus to ensure that a positive college experience is your outcome.

Tutoring Services & Test prep

Students are often ready to go to school, but just need some assistance identifying the best fit. Others often need additional support while they are adjusting to their first year at school. Our diverse network of tutors are experts in their field and are experienced in working with students of all types.

Preparing for college entrance tests such as SATs or ACTs is a daunting process. This can be made more difficult when anxiety, depression, or addiction comes into play. Our teachers and tutors offer experience in both test preparation, and in working with students with complex emotional needs.

Assessments

When the college search process begins and there is a mental health concern involved, the first challenge that must be addressed is updating the IEP or 504b plan. We will work with you to find appropriate resources to acquire the testing or assessments needed, allowing you to update your educational plans in a timely fashion so you’re not rushing to do it before the fall semester.

 Cognition is about learning.

the key to improving your daily life is not about drinking a magic shake or taking a brain-charging pill--it is about 'working out' your brain to enhance your cognitive wellness. Re-teaching your brain to think and being comfortable in who you are, is critical in your journey to restoring your cognitive health to where it once was.

Those with cognitive impairment are often living with symptoms which are unseen. You may understand or know about feeling "down" or "manic", but what is not commonly understood accompanying those symptoms is impaired cognition.  Your brain health is critical to every aspect of your life: socially, at work, at school, and in all daily functions. If you're living with cognitive impairment associated with concussions, ADD, ADHD, depression, bipolar disorder, eating disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorder, or schizophrenia, it is likely that your thinking skills are negatively impacted. Impairments can be seen in attention, memory, processing speed, and problem solving, with severity being relative to the course of your illness, your age, and other social-environmental factors. 

At RCHI Education Group, our LINK Program allows you to develop a positive attitude towards life’s most complex circumstances, and then develop skills and strategies to overcome them.

We work with you to develop realistic goals and link them to your cognitive health. This allows you to create strategies and skills based on your individual abilities, which you can then apply them directly to your daily life. Cognitive Remediation is an intervention targeting neuro-cognitive deficits using scientific principles of learning with the ultimate goal of improving functional outcomes. Its effectiveness is enhanced when provided in context (formal or informal) that provides support and opportunity for improving everyday functioning (Saperstein & Kurtz, 2013).
