The Safe Placement Blueprint

For families who are ready to take action and need a clear system to follow, we built the Safe Placement Blueprint.

This is the exact process we wish we had before we spent $250,000 learning it the hard way. It gives you the tools, the questions, and the insider knowledge to find a safe, effective program for your child in weeks, not months, without overpaying a consultant or trusting an industry built on kickbacks.

What is included:

• 90-minute group kickoff call with Kyle and Taylor
• Program vetting spreadsheet to compare facilities side by side
• Red flag checklist so you know what to watch for
• Private 60-minute one-on-one strategy call
• The Facility Call Script — word-for-word questions to ask any program
• The Insurance and Financing Guide

The average educational consultant charges $6,000 to $8,000 and many collect additional referral fees from the programs they recommend. The Blueprint is $597 and comes with zero conflicts of interest.
