As you may have found, the web offers
a huge amount of information regarding choices for your loved one. No matter what you have heard about any particular programs, very child has different
needs. This is not only a way to help your loved one, but it is also
an investment of money, time, emotions, and hope. As Educational
Consultants, it is our job to know which programs are appropriate for
the client's needs. In addition to working with clients, more than half of our time is dedicated to traveling and
inspecting programs throughout the country. Our inspections are cross
compared with a national network of professional colleagues. We share
and compare research on which programs are the best matches for
particular types of clients.
Sending your child through a therapeutic wilderness experience, a therapeutic boarding school, or any intensive therapeutic opportunity is NOT a punishment. It is a privlage.
Items from the following list may sound familiar. These are some of the most common client challenges that therapeutic programs and schools work with. After meeting with your family, We review any assessment testing, create a history time line, collect perspectives and stories, work with everyone involved to define success, and finally get us all on the same page about the needs. Much of the list and more will eventually come out. Then, we will compare that information with the schools and programs which we have spent time inspecting and evaluating. Finally, program selections are made.
