Retaining ECS

When considering the difficult decision of placing a family member of any age in an out-of-home program, it is important to make certain that the family has the best advice available. Oftentimes the family gets only one opportunity to make such a placement and high quality programs can have a substantial economic impact on a family’s finances. Therefore, it is essential to get this decision right. Making the right decision depends on utilizing the best resources and using the advice from highly qualified educational consultants.

98% of clients who answered an ECS survey find us accessible and responsive to their requests in a timely manner.

Educational Consulting Services is a group of highly trained and credentialed specialists, who possess first-hand knowledge of the best private-pay programs in the U.S. With our vast experience in this field, ECS can offer the objectivity, quality control and personalized service necessary to insure that each client is placed in the best and most appropriate program for his or her needs.

Perhaps more importantly, as parents ourselves, we care about every client and family and take our responsibility very seriously. We make recommendations to only those places where we would send our own children, were they in a similar situation. In order to make these recommendations ECS uses a deliberate process from identifying needs, to determining criteria, and then developing a specific plan.

One specialization we offer, whenever possible, is helping the family choose the most appropriate therapist and group for the particular needs and age of the client. Once our clients are placed, we serve as advocates to make sure that they receive the best service and to track their progress in reaching a set of individualized educational and therapeutic goals.

Upon graduating from the program our job is still not complete. With our experience in transitional services, we continue to guide the client and family for a smoother integration back home or on to the next step.
