Thank you, Karen, for all you did for me and my son. You knew the best place for him…the only place for him. You were right and you helped me accept this hard truth. I am grateful for your influence, your guidance and your honesty as I navigated difficult months while he was in the wilderness and his transition to his program.
Mom of a SonKaren’s depth of experience and knowledge of this industry is extremely valuable especially if you have a complicated and “tough to place” child. Karen has helped us enormously with our child’s placements and he is currently doing very well. We are very hopeful about his future. Thank you Karen!
KMAs a child and adolescent psychotherapist, I have sought Karen’s guidance on a number of my more challenging cases over the years. [She] has been an invaluable resource to families (and therapists) attempting to locate the most appropriate residential treatment option for their child.

Comprehensive Support for Diverse Challenges
At The School Solution, we provide specialized support designed to meet a broad spectrum of emotional, behavioral, and educational challenges. Explore how we guide families through complex situations with expert care and deep compassion.
Children who experience persistent sadness or low motivation often struggle in traditional school settings. We help families find programs that foster emotional support, positive peer relationships, and balanced workloads.
Anxiety can disrupt focus, social interactions, and daily routines. We guide families toward schools that create calm environments, teach coping strategies, and support gradual confidence-building.
Mood swings and unpredictable energy levels can challenge a student's academic progress. We look for schools that offer flexible learning plans and trained staff who understand shifting emotional needs.
Children on the autism spectrum benefit from structured routines, clear communication, and environments that accommodate sensory differences. We connect families to schools equipped to meet these specific needs.
ADHD can affect attention, organization, and impulse control. We help families find schools that use consistent schedules, hands-on learning, and positive reinforcement to keep students engaged.
Dyslexia, dysgraphia, and other processing disorders require targeted interventions. We recommend settings where staff use multi-sensory instruction, specialized tutoring, and close progress monitoring.
Consistent limits and a supportive atmosphere can help children who exhibit anger or hostility toward authority. We guide families toward programs that emphasize respectful relationships and positive reinforcement.
Ongoing bullying or isolation can undermine a child's self-esteem and academic performance. We share information about schools that address these issues proactively and promote a culture of respect.
Intense worry about social settings may prevent a child from participating in group activities or discussions. We look for smaller, understanding communities where students can build confidence at their own pace.
Young people who are unsure about their identity often need a safe, supportive space to explore who they are. We connect families with schools that value inclusion and offer strong mentoring or counseling resources.
Experimentation can turn dangerous when substance use escalates. We help families find placements that balance academic goals with structured interventions, peer support, and ongoing supervision.
Lasting recovery requires steady encouragement and consistent guidance. We direct families to schools that provide aftercare planning, counseling, and strong community support to maintain progress.
Some schools weave cognitive or behavioral frameworks into their academic model. This may include teaching students to recognize unhelpful thought patterns, set goals, or manage impulses within the classroom setting.
Programs that use art, music, outdoor activities, or other hands-on approaches can deepen engagement. We show families where these creative outlets are woven into a student’s daily experience.
