Meet the Team

Our Method

In order to present the best set of options for each family, our team regularly travels around the country and the world visiting schools and programs, getting to know academic and clinical staff, administrators, and residential staff. Our team also frequently attends conferences where they learn about the latest developments in academic approaches and therapeutic treatment, and meet and build relationships with a range of professionals. In the context of this vast body of continually evolving knowledge, Crossman Educational Consulting carefully evaluates all available information on each client, consults with all professionals who have worked with the family, and analyzes all of the choices. Then based on various considerations of the family, and in consultation with program and school teams, we come up with a selection of options for the family.

Our team is committed to helping each child, adolescent, and young adult find their personal path to success.

At Crossman Educational Consulting, each consultant brings a unique background and set of skills to our team. From past roles in law, education, and behavioral health, we rely on our cumulative experience and expertise to support all of the families we work with. We are also parents ourselves and have first hand experience with many of the decisions you are faced with, knowing how complicated and overwhelming the process can be. When visiting schools and programs, we all ask ourselves, “Could I see my child here?” or “Would I feel comfortable sending my child here?” Only if the answer is “Yes”, will we ever recommend a school or program to a family. We value the trust that you’re putting in us and do not take it lightly.

  • We always speak so highly of you—you really helped us so much at a very difficult, critical & pivotal time in our lives—we appreciate all you’ve done.
