Your child has been diagnosed with a disability – what happens now? Navigating the special education process can be challenging for parents. Understanding the complexities of the laws and ensuring your child is getting the proper supports they are entitled to under their Individualized Education Program (IEP) is essential in helping them to thrive academically and emotionally. Contact us today for guidance in making the best decisions for your child.

Are colleges really test optional? Many colleges are taking a more holistic approach to admission, leaving students and parents to wonder if there is still value in submitting an SAT/ACT score. The truth is admissions officers are overwhelmed with twice as many applications and still working out how to admit students on a subjective basis. Submitting an SAT score shows that testing requirements can be met – and makes it easier for counselors to determine admission. Recent studies show that submitting a score still greatly increases your chances of admission. Bottom line, do not ditch the SAT just yet. Contact us today for help in navigating the college admissions process.

"My child didn't get into his/her top colleges." We hear this often! Despite high school seniors having a high SAT score, straight A's, and extracurriculars, many are not getting into their school choices. Some students are denied even though their friends with the same scores were accepted.

With schools becoming more competitive, one of the major deciding factors is the college essays. How did the student differentiate themselves from other applicants? What makes them unique? How have they given back to the community or helped raise awareness on important issues facing our world today? Let's face it – everyone applying will have the same grades, played a sport, or joined a club. How can you help your child show they are different and worth a college offering them a spot?

We can help. Contact us to discuss how we can navigate this process – from school choice, showcasing your child, and how to help position them for opportunities and success at the next level.
