What would you like to know?
WHAT MAKES YOU UNIQUE?
What makes us unique is the experience and background in both speech language pathology and educational consulting. We have the skill set to not only help find the right school for the student, but to also setting them up for success, by offering coaching to strengthen social skills, executive function coaching, and self advocacy skills. This will build the foundation for both academic and social success in college and beyond.
WHAT IS AN IEC AND HOW CAN YOU HELP?
An Independent Educational Consultant, aka (IEC), provides students and families with a broad range of resources for the college planning process. An IEC is not tied to any specific High School or College and has first-hand knowledge of higher educational opportunities. An IEC has the time, availability and expertise to provide individualized services tailored to the needs of each student and family. An IEC can take some of the anxiety surrounding college application off the parents' shoulders. We work closely with parents and the student to guide you though the process. We do the heavy lifting, by researching the right schools, managing deadlines, and presenting you with information and options.
DO YOU ONLY WORK WITH STUDENTS WITH LEARNING DIFFERENCES?
Yes, we deliberately work only with students with learning differences, and primarily with neurodivergent students, who may be autistic, have ADHD, or other related disability. Many of our students struggle with social communication and/or executive functioning. With a speech language pathologist training, we have an understanding of the special challenges that effect learning and for how this impacts the choice of school, what accommodations may be needed, and for how to work with the student's strengths.
