Process to receive Education
Support Services:
-
After
the client receives an initial psychosocial assessment with
a social worker, an internal referral for an education
assessment is made on behalf of the client and given to the
Patient Services Coordinator (PSC).
-
The
PSC logs the referral and contacts the family to schedule
the education assessment. At that time the family is asked
to bring the clients most recent report card, Parentlink
information, and, if applicable, a copy of the client's
transcript, 504, and/or IEP with them to their appointment.
-
Dependent
upon working schedules, the PSC or the Director of Education
Services will complete the Education assessment.
-
After
review of the assessment, the Director of Education Services
will determine the most appropriate course of action and
inform the parents and student of his recommendation(s).
-
The
client will continue to receive case management services as
necessary to monitor the client's progress and continue to
assess for additional educational needs, including but not
limited to tutorial services, neuropsychological testing,
and advocacy.
Neuropsychological Testing
In order to meet a student's
needs, a psychologist measure IQ, academia, memory, attention, and
behavior to assist in school re-entry. Information obtained is
used to build appropriate accommodations to the curriculum and
environment to heighten student success. All NCCF clients are
eligible for psychological testing at no cost.

Dr. Jim Ali was born and raised
in Piscataway, New Jersey and is a graduate of Rutgers University
& the California School of Professional Psychology in Los
Angeles. While in graduate school, Dr. Ali interned at the highly
respected and nationally renowned Glen Roberts Child Guidance

After four years of intense training, he earned his Doctor of
Psychology degree and was one of the youngest graduates in his
class. He then accepted a post-doctoral internship in Las Vegas in
1996 and has since been practicing psychology.
Dr. Ali specializes in the

and life threatening medical conditions. He is also the Clinical
Director of Clinical Solutions, an organization that he and a
colleague developed that provides in-home/in-community counseling

In a state where it takes 6
months to obtain an appointment for complete psychological
testing, Dr. Ali enables our clients at the Nevada Childhood
Cancer Foundation to be seen within weeks and have their results
shortly thereafter. To support convenience and continuity of care,
Dr. Ali travels to the foundation to meet with the clients of NCCF.
