Nationwide Advocacy

Shelton Consulting is a multifaceted private educational consulting firm focusing on special education advocacy and individualized placement services for children, adolescents, and adults with diverse educational and emotional needs.

Our philosophy and mission are based on a simple set of principles: Individualization, Collaboration, and Vision.

Individualization
No two students or cases are alike. We are passionately committed to creating personalized action plans based on the individual needs of each of our clients. Every client arrives with a unique set of needs based on their background and experiences. We value those characteristics and integrate them into our services.
Collaboration
We want to collaborate with you, the family, and other professionals working with your child. We see it as vital to our practice. The field of education is filled with a wealth of talented service providers who enrich our ability to serve you; a team approach is crucial to creating an effective, meaningful action plan.
Vision
Navigating programs and facilities may seem daunting, but our first priority is to make the process less complex. Shelton Consulting stays abreast of current research and trends. We assess all of your options and solutions. Our overall goal is to facilitate appropriate placement for all children, adolescents, and adults, allowing the family unit to become whole again.
