NAVIGATING THE MAZE OF EDUCATION
For any child, few choices will have as great an impact as their choice of
school.
With all the information available, the search can be overwhelming to a student
and their family. They may find themselves at a loss to properly evaluate
their options and to make appropriate decisions. At times, a comprehensive
battery of testing could also be useful.
That’s where an Educational Consultant can play a
vital role. An Educational Consultant is a skilled professional who provides
private support to help the student and their family select the best match
to meet their needs. Educational consultants visit many kinds of schools and
provide unbiased advice and individual attention to each family, based on
their professional judgment about the student’s specific needs and abilities.
Laura Seese, Ph.D. has been visiting schools and programs for the past five
years. She and her firm, Educational Advancement Associates, are available
to help your family to navigate the maze of education and make the right choice
for your child's future.
