Northlight Family Services - Educational Consulting

WHAT TO EXPECT

Rob was able to talk to our daughter, talk to us, get information from the counselors and educators and quickly get her into a program that was instrumental in helping her see what she was doing to herself, and helping us see how to change our patterns to better interact with her.

Northlight invests a huge amount of time and effort to remain current on the personnel and philosophy of numerous programs; this comprehensive, intimate knowledge lets them confidently match a program with an individual's and family's needs.

Northlight's knowledge of schools, programs as well as the directors and staff is amazing. The choices for our son have been exactly what he needed.

As educational consultants, we help you find the environment, people, and resources that best fit your child's needs. You may have tried a variety of therapeutic and educational approaches, received advice about how to handle issues, and unearthed an extraordinary amount of information about schools, programs, and treatment centers. It's hard to know where to turn and which path, if any, will yield the best results. This is where we come in.

We stay current with the nation's best private schools and programs and guide you in developing a clear plan for success. Based on experience, diligent research, and the specific information gathered about your child, we match you with the optimal resources for your child's academic, emotional, psychiatric, social, and environmental needs.
