[QUOTE="dadside, post: 320136, member: 5707"] An educational consultant may be helpful, but I believe that you have to be careful in selecting one, just as you should be careful in choosing a placement. There are some Ed.Cons. who do little more than collect referral fees from schools to whom they refer kids. Others may not have adequate expertise to really identify the important issues and best place for addressing them. And, the owner of one excellent Residential Treatment Center (RTC) told me that there is a certain "herd mentality" among many ed.cons., which together with the need to "cultivate" relationships with them raises the risk of substantial dropoff of referrals if one consultant gets unhappy (rationally or otherwise) with a particular place. My point is not to avoid a consultant - some are excellent - but rather don't take the title as conferring special skill. [/QUOTE]
