Appropriate placement involves hard work for families, students and for the consultant. A family who works with Educational Counseling can expect the following:

• Meeting with the family a whole to take an educational inventory and to establish goals and to develop a plan.
  
  
• Meeting with the student to take an interest inventory and to discuss long and short term goals.
  
  
• A list of schools with a range of programs, and likelihood of admission.
  
  
• Advice on necessary and appropriate testing.
  
  
• Coordination of school visits and applications.
  
  
• Advocating for the student in the admissions process and maintaining the family’s communication with admissions offices.
  
  
• An ongoing dialogue about the list of schools, visits and application procedures.
