About Dr. Munson

About Eleanor Munson, PhD

I am an alumna of The Hockaday School. I earned a B.A. and M.A., and Ph.D. in Psychology from Southern Methodist University. As a Dallas native, I’ve developed a vast network of contacts in the educational field over my career.  It’s critical for an Educational Consultant to visit schools regularly, and as such, I devote a considerable amount of time to touring schools and spending time with admissions counselors so I can understand each school’s mission and make appropriate recommendations to parents.   To date, I’ve visited over one hundred and ten private schools in the Dallas area.

I am a member of the Council for Exceptional Children, National Association for Gifted Children, the Texas Association for the Gifted and Talented, and the International Dyslexia Association. I am also a member of the Davidson Institute Educators Guild.

A Professional Member of the Independent Educational Consultants Association, with a specialty designation in Learning Differences, I am the only such practitioner in North Texas to focus exclusively on school placement.  I recently earned the prestigious title of Certified Educational Planner from the American Institute of Certified Educational Planners, a distinction awarded to consultants who have achieved the highest level of competence in educational planning.  Of the four Certified Educational Planners in North Texas, I am the only one to specialize in school placement (Pre-K through 12th grade).

Caveat Emptor

I’ve visited with a couple of Dallas families recently who hired professionals to work with them (or their children), only to realize later that those ‘experts’ lacked the qualifications and expertise they presumedly possessed. This made me wonder, … Read More... about Caveat Emptor

Testimonials

‘The decision came out today and we are over the moon excited! Our son got accepted to all three of the schools!’

‘Thank you more than words for suggesting this private school – such a hidden gem! The kids got in and will start next year! We are so excited and forever thankful to YOU!!!!!’

‘Thank you for thinking about us this week. We have received admission notifications from two top schools. Thank you so much for advising us throughout this process. We learned so much about our daughter, and family as a whole. It’s been a stressful but rewarding experience.’

‘I love reading the articles you have posted on your website. Thank you for all the information.’

‘You were right: we love the school and it’s our first pick if we have a choice. Thank you again a thousand times!’

‘She got in!! Thanks for all your help!!!!’

‘Hi Eleanor, happy to share the good news!! Our son got admitted to our top choice PreK!! Thank you again for helping us to put forward the best application for our son.’

‘The day I received the admission decision, I held my iPhone in my hand and sobbed openly at the first ‘Congratulations’ I saw. I am far from confident that my daughter wouldn’t be entering her new school next year if it hadn’t been for your help and support, and I am fully confident there isn’t a school in Texas where she would be better off. There truly are no words for my gratitude!!’

‘Glad I had you on this journey; you made a huge difference!’

‘Thank you so much for your help last month! I just wanted to send a quick note to let you know that our son was accepted to our first choice school! We are thrilled! I was so impressed when I visited and mad at myself for not applying there in the beginning. Thank you for that lead and information from our visit.’
