Therapeutic Educational consultants are professionals who assist families and students with educational decision making.
The advantages of a guardian / parent using an independent therapeutic educational consultant are:
- Many educational consultants are parents of teens or young adults that have been in treatment and they know the steps you are about to take and what emotions follow.
- The therapeutic educational consultant can save a family the emotional as well as the financial downfall of making an incorrect decision on a program or school that is not the best fit for their child's special and unique needs.
- The therapeutic educational consultant spends time each year visiting many programs and schools, as most parents do not have this option when placement is needed.
- The therapeutic educational consultant is experienced and skilled at knowing how to match a child's and family's needs with the best matched program, school or wilderness therapy camp.
- The educational consultant is there to support the family and their child, not the program or school.

"This is the beginning of a new day. You have been given this day to use as you will. You can waste it or use it for good. What you do today is important because you are exchanging a day of your life for it. When tomorrow comes, this day will be gone forever; in its place is something that you have left behind...let it be something good." ~ Author Unknown
