Dublin did not disappoint! 🇮🇪

We had an incredible week bringing together boarding schools and international agents from around the world for meaningful conversations, new partnerships, and a lot of collaboration.

There was plenty of work accomplished — and a little fun too — enjoying the amazing Irish culture, great food, and even some traditional Irish dancing along the way! ☘️💃

Thank you to everyone who joined us in Dublin for another great workshop!

Educational Consultants attending the Autism Symposium in Georgia this April — we’d love to see you a day early.

Join us for School Connections on Sunday, April 19 & Monday, April 20, just before the Symposium begins.

This is a structured workshop where you’ll have pre-arranged 20-minute meetings with every participating therapeutic program. We build your schedule — you just show up and connect.

Why join us?

• No additional registration fee
• Sunday night hotel covered
• Personalized, one-on-one meetings
• Seamless transition into the Autism Symposium
• Meaningful relationship-building before the larger conference begins

Many educational consultants tell us this is the perfect way to maximize their time on-site — deeper conversations, focused meetings, and no added travel.

Please note: This opportunity is for educational consultants only. Our program side is currently full.

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.

We started off this fall in Stamford, Connecticut with boarding schools and educational consultants. A great day of meetings, followed by a delicious dinner at a Brazilian steakhouse. Next stop, San Diego!
