[QUOTE="dadside, post: 215291, member: 5707"] Educational consultants may do as others have noted. (And they look generally for educational facilities with needed services and environment for whatever reason, not just for addressing school problems.) A minority will also arrange any needed testing/evaluations. Fees charged and services offered cover a wide range. Even some of the best known or respected ed.cons. do less than you might expect by referring only to schools/programs they already know without investigating or considering other, possibly more appropriate places. Others will search for just the "right" place if they don't already know one. Also, some ed.cons. are paid by the programs themselves, with a minority said to collect from parent [I]and[/I] program. If you know your child's needs, and if you have the time, you can often do at least as well as an ed.con.. The real question is time, and while the various web sites help tremendously, you still have to get on the telephone and "dig" to really narrow the options. The better you can define the need, the easier it may be. It gets harder when looking for somewhere to help with x and y rather than somewhere that provides a and b. [/QUOTE]
