Educational & Therapeutic Consulting - Helping families since 1983
Established in 1983, as Nancy P. Masland & Associates, Optimal Edu Options provide educational and therapeutic guidance to families and students throughout Arizona. Many students and parents are looking for direction and personalized attention to their needs to help them select the optimum educational / therapeutic settings and opportunities.
Our educational planning process has proven successful for families seeking assistance in the myriad of therapeutic and educational options available. As an essential component of our comprehensive consultation services, we follow a process developed through years of experience and research. This enables us to locate more effective options and make informed recommendations to help families make objective decisions and to ultimately effect positive changes for the future.
Educational consultants possess extensive knowledge of placement options.
We specialize in helping families with children, at-risk teens and young adults and have extensive experience working with crisis intervention, oppositional behaviors, learning disabilities, emotional /behavioral difficulties and mental illness. To gain an unbiased perspective of more than 400 programs in the United States, Optimal Edu Options spend 30% of our time visiting and evaluating scores of programs and schools. Only by conducting such visits can we get a good understanding of strengths, therapy options, academics, and staff expertise.
