School Connections

Thanks for the shout out Maureen! Happy to to be a part of this industry!

✨ Why do placement consultants need to spend time both talking with programs and seeing them for yourself? Because every conversation and visit opens the door to new insights, relationships, and possibilities for families.
This week I’m here in San Diego at School Connections — a national gathering where therapeutic and specialized schools and programs come together to share updates, services, and treatment modalities.
So, what is School Connections?
It’s a unique event that allows educational consultants and placement professionals to:
✅ Meet directly with program leaders in one-on-one conversations
✅ Discover innovative supports and new treatment models
✅ Build meaningful connections that strengthen referral networks
✅ Ensure families have access to the most up-to-date and appropriate options
Families rely on us not just for knowledge, but for trusted relationships and first-hand experience with programs. Being here helps me bring back more opportunities, better matches, and stronger advocacy for the students I serve.
🌍 Networking + learning = better outcomes for kids and families.
