Academic Coaching Pricing

Free Consultation and Hourly Rate
Our initial hour phone consultation is free. After the initial phone
conversation, the cost is $80 per hour and we will work towards
your child's academic plan. If you shop around, you will find our
cost very reasonable.
Body and Mind Solutions is one of the consulting firms that
calculate consultation fees on an hourly basis. Consultants
who use this fee structure charge for the time actually spent
serving the parent and child. They provide only those services
the parents require for their situation, which can include:
interviewing the child, interviewing the parents and relevant

placement application to the school or program, and helping the parent if an additional emergency placement is
necessary. Some consultants live in remote areas and work with the parents almost exclusively by telephone, fax
and e-mail. These consultants frequently visit the children they have helped place in schools or programs, but
usually don't charge for that unless the parent has specifically asked for the visit. There usually is a minimum fee,
sometimes based on a minimum number of hours, usually ranging below one thousand dollars. If the consultation
time exceeds the minimum agreed upon hours, subsequent charges are based on an hourly rate.
Annual Contract
The annual contract includes: interviewing the child,
interviewing the parents and appropriate professionals,
arranging for testing, advising which schools are most
appropriate for the child, supporting the placement
application to the school or program, and helping the
parent if an emergency placement is necessary. It often
includes staying in regular touch with the parent
throughout that year to communicate about their child's
progress and the child is visited at least once during the
year that he or she is in the school or program. It is an
all-inclusive annual contract, but if the time required
becomes far more than normal, the consultant
sometimes will negotiate an additional fee. The fees for
annual contracts begin at $2000.
Home Visit
Body and Mind Solutions offers educational consultants
who will travel to your family's home anywhere in the
country. Our consultants will work with the family in your
home environment to acquire the additional information
needed to help your family resolve the issues or
problems, often then making a residential placement
recommendation.
The same services offered on the hourly basis are
included during this visit, with the additional advantage
of working with the family in their home environment.
Our fees begin at $3000 for a 3 day weekend, plus travel
expenses.
