What is an independent educational consultant?
Have you ever felt that you needed someone to assist you in choosing a "good fit" school for your child? Do you have a teenager who needs to start thinking about college planning and applications? Are you a parent who is in need of selecting a therapeutic placement for your child - such as a wilderness program, a therapeutic boarding school or maybe a residential treatment center?
Independent educational consultants can help you in a number of different ways. Some specialize in the college planning area. Others specialize in therapeutic placements, while others might focus on boarding school placements. There are IECs who only do international boarding school placements, and then there are consultants who work in several different areas. But in all areas, the independent educational consultants assist families in making wise choices for their particular child's needs and aspirations. They are trained to work with families and students in assessing the student and family's needs, and providing well-researched information about schools and programs, so that the families can make wise educational and therapeutic choices for their students. Independent Ed Consultants spend approximately 20% of their time traveling to and visiting programs, schools and colleges.
