The purpose of TaynAdvisors creation is for students and families to have a place where they can get expert comprehensive educational planning and innovative, effective solutions. We have seen again and again how the right school or program can make all the difference for a child, adolescent or young adult, and we work to fill that important need. Our families come from across the United States as well as around the world and RNG has finely tuned their ability to work with students and parents no matter where they are.

 

Process:

There are roughly three phases to our process for boarding and/or therapeutic placements. Please contact us to learn how we can customize this process for you.

  1. Assessment
    No matter the situation, the first step is getting to know the student and the family as well as we can. We do this by assessing the needs of the student, their priorities, and the family values. We do this through interviews with the student, family, and key professionals; student and parent questionnaires; informal and formal surveys; testing; and a school record review. We have a worldwide network of referrals for additional evaluations as needed.
  2. Working phase
    Once we know the student and their needs as well as strengths, we can begin to make recommendations based on their goals. We help the student and/or family through all the steps of the process, from identifying schools, programs, or colleges and universities, to applying and accepting the offer of admission. When appropriate, we can facilitate conversations with schools and programs to ascertain the placement fit.
  3. Post placement phase
    After the student starts school, we remain involved for the duration of the contract to ensure the student makes a smooth transition. Depending on the family’s needs, we can remain involved long-term and provide long-term support and guidance.
