You do not need an open DVRScase to access Pre-ETS, and you do not need to go through a school to reach us. Schools, families, and students can all initiate the process—Lincoln Square Coaching prepares and submits the DVRS referral on the student’s behalf. The referral is a pre-authorization step, not a full DVRS application.
Email referrals@lincolnsqcoaching.com or call (212) 320-8973. Schools, families, and students can all initiate.
We review documentation and confirm Pre-ETS or OSYES is the right fit—even without an open DVRS case.
We prepare and submit the referral to DVRS on the student’s behalf and coordinate service planning.
Once DVRS authorizes the request, Pre-ETS or OSYES begin at no cost.
Do I need my school to refer my child? No. While schools are the most common pathway, families can come directly to Lincoln Square Coaching and we complete the DVRS referral on your behalf.
