Navigating the many educational options and alternatives available today can be a daunting task, especially when you and your family are experiencing educational difficulties. Brock’s Academy and Dr. Melodee Loshbaugh can help you maneuver through this process as your Educational Consultant. Every child deserves an ideal social and emotional environment in which to learn, grow, and develop. It is our mission to help you find it.
What is an Educational Consultant?
An educational consultant can help guide you through the important decision making process when an educational change is necessary for your child. Whether you are considering tutorial intervention or a complete program or school change, the significance of these decisions can be overwhelming.
A consultant can:
• Bring clarity to a confusing array of educational options, and help guide you to high quality alternatives.
• Help you find the right tutor to guide your child over their educational hurdles.
• Help you understand the IEP (Individual Education Program) process and be an advocate for you and your child within their current school.
• Evaluate potential learning disabilities or challenges, and help you decide which additional resources may be the most helpful for your family.
• Assist you in setting objective and realistic goals for your child on their educational journey.
• Evaluate current credits and help you determine necessary requirements for your child to reach graduation.

What is the Process?

We will conduct a comprehensive interview to determine where the student stands academically, developmentally, and socially. A brief family history will also be taken at this time.
