Private School Placement

Why Work With an Educational Specialist?

Many students who are struggling in school or who undergo psycho-educational or neuropsychological testing may need a level of support and accommodations that are not available in their current school setting.

For this reason we suggest that parents and children consult with our educational specialist to identify the programs and schools in the area that are best-suited to meet your child's unique needs.

Through private school placement, our educational specialist works with families one-on-one to place students in school atmospheres that will emphasize their strengths, accommodate their learning style and needs, and help them thrive.
