Shofer Educational Consulting specializes in residential placement

Shofer Educational Consulting specializes in residential placement for families with adolescents or young adults (ages 13-25)  with academic learning differences or issues requiring therapeutic placement.

I assist parents in exploring a full range of alternative options that are safe and supportive when it is no longer feasible for a struggling child to remain at home.

Residential Placement for Academic and Therapeutic Needs

When considering a therapeutic placement, it is essential to match the student with the therapist and the group that is the best fit for the particular needs and age of the student.

In specialty boarding school placements, it is essential to match a student to an academic program that fits their individual needs. It is also important to have teachers who are trained in teaching students with language-based learning differences.

For adolescents there are boarding schools, as well as programs that address each students unique educational or therapeutic needs.

For young adults there are programs that address treatment, independent living, career guidance and /or education.

These schools and programs allow the student to learn new coping skills, develop new insights and let go of old behaviors

I am experienced in guiding families and students to the appropriate residential school or program for help with a variety of academic, behavioral, or mental health issues.

  • Families that need specific academic support for their child

  • Families with children struggling with mental illness

  • Families that need to intervene in their child’s self-defeating behavior

  • Families with young adults who are not making the transition to independence

  • Families With Adopted Children

    Adoption adds another layer of identity to a person’s sense of self. My sister and I were adopted and had very different experiences- even into adulthood.

    For those parents who have an adopted child, I am uniquely qualified to help you navigate what your child is experiencing, as well as what programs can best help your child.
