We provide consultation services for families focusing on special education, challenging behaviors, and applied behavior analysis. Many families come to us looking to support them through advocacy within the IEP process.
Questions parents are usually asking when they contact us:
- Should my child have an IEP?
- Is the IEP working?
- What is happening at school?
- Should my child have different services?
- Are these the right IEP goals?
- Is my child making friends at school?
- Is the IEP or behavior plan being implemented?
- What can I do to help my child at school?
We believe in working collaboratively with schools to help students with disabilities make progress on their goals. Our goal is to work with the professionals in the schools to find effective and efficient teaching strategies and behavior supports to help the student be successful.
We have experience with most disability categories such as autism, intellectual disabilities, specific learning disorder, emotional/behavior disabilities, traumatic brain injury, other health impairment, and multiple disabilities.
