Therapeutic Educational Consultants FAQ
What exactly is a Therapeutic Educational Consultant and how can they help my family?
We're specialists who combine educational expertise with therapeutic understanding. Our consultants at A-List Admissions evaluate your child's academic, emotional, and social needs to recommend appropriate educational settings. We'll help identify schools or programs that can address specific challenges while nurturing your child's strengths. This service is particularly valuable if your child has learning differences, emotional challenges, or needs specialized support beyond traditional school environments.
How is your therapeutic educational consulting different from regular admissions consulting?
While our regular admissions consulting focuses primarily on getting into competitive schools, our therapeutic educational consulting takes a more all-encompassing approach. We're looking at the whole child—academic needs, emotional wellbeing, social skills, and family dynamics. You'll receive guidance not just on admissions strategy, but on finding environments where your child can truly heal, grow, and thrive. We'll consider therapeutic programs, specialized schools, and support systems that address specific challenges your family is facing.
Do you work with children who have specific diagnoses or challenges?
Yes, we've successfully helped families whose children face various challenges including anxiety, depression, ADHD, autism spectrum disorders, learning differences, school refusal, and behavioral issues. Our team serving Los Angeles has over 20 years of experience working with diverse needs. We don't believe in one-size-fits-all solutions—we'll take time to understand your child's unique situation and connect you with educational options specifically designed for their needs.
What does the therapeutic educational consulting process look like?
You'll start with a thorough intake session where we'll discuss your child's history, challenges, strengths, and your family's goals. We'll review any existing evaluations or reports and may recommend additional assessments if needed. Then we'll research and recommend appropriate educational options, which might include therapeutic boarding schools, residential treatment programs, day schools with strong support services, or specialized programs. We'll guide you through visits, applications, and adjustments, remaining available for ongoing support as your child settles into their new environment.
Isn't it possible to find these specialized programs on my own?
While you could research programs independently, you'll benefit greatly from our insider knowledge and experience. The landscape of therapeutic and specialized education is complex, and not all programs are equally effective or appropriate. We've spent years evaluating programs, building relationships with directors, and following outcomes. We can help you avoid costly missteps and identify red flags that aren't obvious from marketing materials. Our former admissions professionals understand what makes a good fit, saving you time, reducing stress, and increasing the likelihood of finding a truly transformative educational solution.
