Educational consultants and educational advocates often support families in similar ways, but their roles can differ. An educational consultant helps families understand evaluations, educational data, school-based services, learning differences, literacy concerns, and available educational options. Consultants provide guidance, recommendations, and support to help families make informed decisions and navigate the educational process with greater confidence.

Educational advocates may focus more specifically on helping families understand their legal rights within special education processes and may provide more intensive support during disputes or disagreements with schools.

At Haven Educational Consulting, the focus is on collaboration, education, and individualized guidance. The goal is to help families better understand their child's unique learning profile, communicate effectively with schools, and feel informed and prepared when making educational decisions.
