You will get personalized attention for the specific behavior/s of your concern to:

        decide on some strategies for handling the behaviors if they still occur

Plan on spending about one hour at the first meeting, 45 minutes for the second, then just 15-20 minutes for the third and fourth get-togethers. Virtual or in-person sessions are scheduled on demand, as needed.
