The School Solution: How An IECA Member Can Help You

As a parent, you may have a hard time knowing whom to trust when your child needs help. If your child, teenager, or young adult is not succeeding in their current school or situation, IECA members and educational consultants like Karen Mabie can assist with many areas of concern. Karen works with families after they have used every available community resource and their child (age 11 to 26) is still struggling due to cognitive, social, emotional, behavioral or psychiatric issues. As a professional Educational Consultant member of the IECA and a Certified Educational Planner, she adheres to the highest ethical and professional standards.

IECA stands for “ Independent Educational Consultants Association”. This year’s IECA “Spring Into Summer Conference” has been postponed due to the coronavirus pandemic and COVID-19 quarantine. Even though things have changed for now, they will be up and running again in the near future. This means that now is a great time to prepare for your child’s spring into summer, by setting up a conference with Karen Mabie and The School Solution.
