Jennifer Taylor, President and Managing ConsultantThat is the purpose at the foundation of JET ED Consulting, founded in 2016 by Jennifer Taylor. She and her colleagues walk alongside families through every step of the therapeutic care and academic journey, especially when it comes to residential options. Every relationship begins with listening. They take the time to understand each family’s story, then outline a plan tailored to their unique situation.
The firm was intentionally created to offer a collaborative solution for families managing complex adolescent and young adult challenges. JET ED provides therapeutic educational consulting— matching students with therapeutic boarding schools, wilderness programs, or young adult transition plans—while remaining engaged well beyond the initial step. Its consultants offer high-touch support, helping families move from crisis to progress with consistent guidance. Each recommendation supports stability, healing, growth, and long-term alignment.
“Unlike some other firms, we operate with a service-oriented, open-ended model—meaning there is no artificial cutoff to our support. Our case management means that families can reach us by text, phone, or email as often as needed,” says Jennifer Taylor, President and Managing Consultant.
The team brings deep field knowledge shaped by hundreds of program visits and longstanding relationships with providers. That insight ensures each recommendation is based on more than credentials—it’s grounded in a real-time understanding of how a school or program truly operates.
Support goes far beyond the moment of placement. The JET ED process equips parents with structured tools such as interview templates, pace-adjusted timelines, and recurring calls. Parent groups provide space for shared reflection. Families stay informed and involved throughout the process. When urgency arises, the team can mobilize quickly— often initiating placement within 48 hours—without compromising quality or care.

A recent example involved a 16-year-old boy struggling with school refusal, anxiety, and strained family relationships. JET ED helped the family navigate an immediate placement into a therapeutic wilderness program, where the student began to re-engage emotionally and socially. Weekly updates, parent coaching, and ongoing outreach kept everyone aligned. After that phase, the team recommended a boarding school that matched the student’s strengths in performing arts and leadership. Consultants worked directly with school staff to shape a support plan, guided the family through transition meetings, and remained in close contact throughout the first term.
This level of involvement reflects JET ED’s core values. The team leads with compassion, collaboration, and integrity. JET ED’s consultants bring personal experience to their work—having walked similar roads themselves. That perspective shapes how they communicate, listen, and lead. Their work connects families, clinicians, and educators through a single, thoughtful strategy that builds stability over time.
The firm’s commitment to each family is built for the long term—designed to guide families toward meaningful growth that continues well after placement. This is why JET ED is one of the premier therapeutic educational consulting firms in the country.
A recent testimonial from a family reads:
“Jennifer is warm, thoughtful, sensitive, and straightforward. She has made herself available to us throughout our process and has offered invaluable insight based on years of experience. She knows programs, their strengths and challenges, and with this knowledge can hone in on viable options quickly. Without a doubt, we would recommend JET ED Consulting to any family seeking educational consulting services.”
