The discussion revolved around when children have behavioral/emotional problems and need some kind of intervention. It is very important that the right match is made between the child and families needs and the strengths of the school or program. This can be a very refined process and a well trained and experienced Independent Educational Consultant can save the parents and their child unnecessary heartache and expense. The Consultant is not bound by contract limitations that most public entities are bound by and have the freedom to suggest what they feel is the best for the child rather than just places the agency has a contract with. Finders fees, that is cash for kids or money paid by a school or program to a referring agency for an enrollment, is considered unethical and a conflict of interest. A professional consultant will avoid those conflicts of interests, keeping a professional relationship with the parents and child. 00:48:00 Lon Woodbury, Bob Kantar, Interviews, Larry Stednitz, Parent Choices for Struggling Teens, Educational Consultants, Woodbury Reports, Strugglingteens.com Lon Woodbury
