LEARNING DISABILITY/NEURODIVERSITY ADVISING
An IECA member educational consultant can help find the school, college, or program that will meet your child’s unique learning profile.
THERAPEUTIC NEEDS

INTERNATIONAL ADVISING
Independent Educational Consultant Association members with international specialties are uniquely qualified to help you and your child learn about a wide range of educational opportunities around the globe and choose one that best meets your needs.
GRADUATE & PROFESSIONAL SCHOOL ADVISING
The decision to attend graduate school is not a simple one. Students must evaluate attendance in terms of their career goals and the cost. The selectivity of graduate programs can be difficult to evaluate because not all of the admission data is readily available.
