The Educational Placement Consultant helps parents and children
with school placement. The consultant develops a detailed
profile of the student from school reports, testing results,
medical information, and interviews with the parents and the
child. Students are asked to share their perceptions about
the school experience and to discuss their specific strengths,
weaknesses, special interests, and needs. This information
is used as a basis for recommending appropriate school options
including public, independent, day, boarding, special, and
parochial.
Specific Questions:
Specific for educational placement consultants
- Do you work with students who have generalized school
problems, or do you specialize in a particular area?
- Do you work with all age groups, or do you specialize?
- How do you work with parents and students?
- How much time do you spend researching schools and making
personal contact with school representatives?
- How recently have you visited the schools you recommend?
- Is there a single rate for placement, or do you charge
an hourly rate?
- What aspects of your professional background have prepared
you for your role as an Educational Placement Consultant?
- If you recommend a private school, will you also help
us understand how financial aid works and help us with the
process if we decide to apply for it?
- Will you help us until we find the "right" placement,
no matter how long it takes?
