Meet the LEAD Team<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The LEAD Team works as an efficient and knowledgeable unit. Although every team member is proficient in the main areas of academic concern, each also has at least one additional area of expertise. The result is that students often are not only seen by the specialist they may be starting out with but are in addition referred by that first specialist to another, depending on how a student\u2019s needs are best served. In addition, processes have been put into place to ensure that each student receives the best care possible with all specialists providing congruent information.<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n
