What is an educational consultant?
Educational consultants offer a variety of services, ranging from assisting students in choosing an appropriate college-prep school, to special needs consulting to family, parent and teen coaching.
Horizon Family Solutions is an educational consulting, child rights advocacy and family/parent coaching company
that serves clients locally, nationally and internationally.
I have been assisting children, adolescents, young adults and their families since my beginning as a Hospice Grief Counselor in 1988.
During these years, I have assisted hundreds of clients with a broad spectrum of issues. These issues have ranged from learning differences, such as attention (ADHD), language delays and memory disorders, to emotional and behavioral difficulties, such as defiance at home or inappropriate choices at school.
My intention and passion in working with you is success for your student.
I assess with care and thoroughness their challenges, goals and talents.
I assist families in creating a plan for appropriate educational programs and treatment interventions, guiding them in identifying and considering the many factors that make up a successful plan.
In building the plan, I incorporate input from multiple sources including family members, professionals with whom the student has worked, school counselors and teachers and the student, when appropriate.
I also review any prior assessments, school records and other pertinent data. My primary focus and specialty is assisting the family in crisis and the special needs child, as well as the adolescent and young adult who needs a therapeutic and/or wilderness adventure treatment setting.
Such programs and schools empower students to make healthy choices, healthy decisions and deal effectively with issues of all types such as substance abuse including binge drinking and prescription drug addiction, depression, eating disorders, gambling, inappropriate sexual behavior, oppositional behavior, poor peer relations, high risk taking behavior, school failure, self-esteem challenges, self mutilation, and cell phone, Internet and video game addiction. I also provide family, parent and teen coaching. 
I do not accept any program or school compensation or any type of referral fees for my assistance with your student, thereby maintaining the integrity of my relationship with each family I serve.
I maintain contact with families and students from the beginning of the process until the every end. I also maintain contact with the program or school throughout the term of your child’s placement. In doing so I help ensure that your student’s academic and emotional goals are met.
I work passionately with each family to ensure that we all strive for a long-term positive outcome.
