We strive to provide the best of care across the two programs, communication with BCS enables us to provide consistency for your child and to know if there are any areas we need to work on together. The Sprouts screening is an excellent tool to know where your child is and what areas BCS is focusing on, we wont to be able to do the same thing for your child. If you have court documents on file with BCS and do not allow us access then we are unable to follow instructions from those documents, this is not a situation we want to be in.
