Empowering Families Through Educational Consultation
Expert guidance for children with learning differences one step at a time.
ABOUT A&E
Meet Paula Dufault, Ed.S., M.S., BCET #10192
I am the sole owner and consultant at A&E Educational Consultant. Holding an Ed.S. in Disability Studies, a Master’s in Special Education, and Board Certification in Educational Therapy. I bring both academic rigor and real‑world experience to every case.
My philosophy is simple: Parents know their children best. I partner with you to navigate special‑education services ensuring your child receives an appropriate, free, and public education tailored to their unique learning profile.
I work directly with families, not as an advocate but as a consultant focused on positive collaboration with school staff. Together, we create clear, actionable plans that align with best practices and meet your child’s needs.
A&E services
I offer a variety of services for families to support your child’s education. Fees are discussed prior to
services rendered to ensure a fair and responsible plan for your child.
Educational Therapy Strategies
As a Board Certified Educational Therapist, I promote IEPs to support individualized strategies for dyslexia, dysgraphia, dyscalculia, and Autism Spectrum learning differences. I network with Educational Therapists when a referral benefits your child.
School & Resource Navigation
I connect families with trusted private or public‑school resources and outside professionals when additional support is beneficial.
Report Review & Interpretation
I read psycho‑educational and diagnostic reports, translate the findings into simple language, and create a clear path so you can make confident decisions.
IEP Consultation & Collaboration
I attend IEP meetings (in‑person or via Zoom) and collaborate with school teams to establish appropriate goals, accommodations, and interventions that truly fit your child.

AB
Even though we are not in the same city, Paula’s remote consultations are exceptional. She thoroughly reviewed every document, explained complex test results, and showed us how to collaborate with our son’s team of professionals. Her passion and expertise have been a tremendous asset to our family.
