School placement

School Placement

The DC metropolitan area has over 100 independent schools…let us introduce you!
At BES we know that choosing a school can be a daunting task, especially if your child learns differently or has not met with success in traditional educational settings. If your child is anxious about school or has lost confidence in their abilities, let us help renew your hope. The DC metropolitan area has over 100 independent schools that offer success and happiness to all kinds of children and all kinds of learners. We know and love these special schools and want to help you find the school where your child will thrive.

Every school is like a family, and we believe that every child has a right to feel like they belong and are valued for the unique gifts that they possess.

IEP

IEP/504 Advocacy

Understanding the best ways to support your child can often feel overwhelming. It can be difficult to know where to start or which questions to ask when you realize that your child is not receiving the necessary support in school This is where an Educational Advocate can help. An Educational Advocate possesses a thorough understanding of the school system and can help families who are facing difficulties in obtaining the answers and services their child requires. By working closely with families and collaborating with the school, the advocate ensures that the unique needs of each student are being met.  They are also available to attend IEP/504 meetings to provide support to parents and ensure the accommodations are provided.  At BES we want to decrease parental overwhelm and provide parents with education and support during the IEP/504 process. 

Consulting

Academic/Career Counseling

At BES, we believe that learning differently should not be a barrier to success in school or in the workplace and are committed to helping individuals discover their passions, define their career goals, and develop a strategic roadmap to reach them. Career counseling can be beneficial for:

  • Individuals at various stages of their professional journey, including college students exploring career options.
  • Individuals facing job loss or career transitions
  • Professionals considering career changes or a return to school
  • Anyone seeking guidance in managing their careers effectively.

We provide the support, guidance, and resources to help our clients navigate the complex work world and make informed decisions about their education, training, and employment. Our work is individualized to the needs of each client and can include a range of services.

Healthy Habits

Health and Wellness Coaching

At BES we have seen first hand how healthy habits can have a profound impact on students  by improving their cognitive function, emotional well-being, and overall ability to manage daily challenges.

Proper nutrition and regular exercise boost brain health, improve concentration, and increase energy levels, while adequate sleep and mindfulness practices help regulate emotions and reduce stress. By establishing consistent routines and maintaining hydration, students can further enhance their focus and attention. These habits not only equip students to better handle stress and frustration but also foster self-discipline, leading to improved academic and personal outcomes.

BES understands that exposing students to these principles can have a dramatic impact on a students ongoing success. When you feel good, you can do good. 

 

Judy Bass is amazing… Of course, she helped my child choose schools and write incredible applications, but more than that, Judy actually showed her that she had a future as a college student and that her disability not only won’t hold her back but that it is part of who she is…She set her on a path of self-advocacy that will help her be independent and thrive. Hiring Bass Educational Consultants is the best investment you can make in your child’s college success.

Judy and her team helped my son navigate the college search process, write outstanding essays, and ultimately select the best-fit college for him. The work she did with my son took much of the stress out of the process for us.

Judy Bass led two of my children through their college application process. She made it so easy and stress-free! Judy zeroed in on colleges we otherwise would not have considered but ended up being fantastic choices for my kids. Judy also was so knowledgeable about financial aid and merit money, her services ended up paying for themselves! Highly recommend!
