Reduce the Stress

There are thousands of colleges, schools, and program options available, and sorting through their admission criteria can be overwhelming. IECA member consultants help identify the options that best match your child’s unique strengths, interests, and needs, and guide your student through the application process for each one.

Broaden Your Student’s Options

With their extensive knowledge of colleges, schools, and therapeutic programs, independent educational consultants (IECs) can broaden students’ potential choices, and provide vital help in weighing factors such as cost, location, and curriculum.

Offer Unbiased Advice

Because they are not affiliated with any specific school or program, IECA members offer unbiased help in evaluating the pros and cons of every option.

Provide One-on-One Attention

The current student-to-counselor ratio in many public schools is nearly 500:1. The average student-to-IECA member ratio is 24:1. Because they are not tied to any specific college, school, or program, IECA member consultants are not burdened with unrelated duties, and are available at the family’s convenience—not just during school hours during the academic year.

Advocate for Your Student

An IECA member consultant’s goal is to help your family identify the learning environment that best suits the individual needs of your student. They put the needs of your student first and foremost to find their best fit.
