The Conduct Chronicles

Engagement & fees

How Engagements Are Scoped.

Fees are set per engagement rather than from a price list. What the work costs depends on the setting, how many people are involved, how long it runs, and what has to exist at the end of it.

Focused

A single or short-term engagement. A defined question, a defined answer.

Quoted per engagement

  • One problem, one team, or one case
  • Consultation, assessment, or a single training
  • Written recommendations and a follow-up window

Quoted as one piece of work, with the scope written down before it starts.

Comprehensive

A multi-session engagement across a team or program, with implementation support.

Quoted at proposal

  • A multi-session engagement or a full training series
  • Deliverables agreed before any work begins
  • A fixed fee stated in the proposal

The proposal is the quote. No hourly drift once it is signed.

Partnership

Ongoing embedded consulting. The practice functions as your behavioral department.

Quoted annually

  • Embedded consulting across the year
  • Organization-wide training and clinical supervision
  • Defined deliverables with scheduled review points

Structured as a yearly agreement and re-quoted at each renewal.

Sliding scale

Reduced rates are available for educators in Title I schools and for teachers in their first five years who are building out special education classrooms. Ask when you book.

Tell us what you are dealing with and you will get a written good faith estimate of fees before anything is scheduled. Nothing starts, and nothing is owed, until that estimate is agreed in writing.

A consultation is a working session, not a sales call. Bring the problem. If this practice is not the right instrument, you will be told so, and pointed somewhere better.
