<p>Cheers, I am sure your advice is good: "You should contact a professional educational consultant, preferably one that is registered with the IECA, <a href="http://www.educationalconsulting.org/%5B/url%5D">http://www.educationalconsulting.org/</a> . IECA counselors tend to be familiar with the broad specturm of educational needs, not just high-end placements."</p>
<p>But wouldn't an educational consultant start by suggesting the family get a thorough assessment (medical, psychiatric, behavioral, social, etc.)? I can't imagine the consultant would recommend any sort of interventions without that being done first, especially given the young man's volatile nature.</p>
