School Services

Consultation Services

Collaboration is a core value of our School Consulting Services. We work with building and district leadership to identify needs and create an individualized consultation approach. Our goal is to help school districts build their capacity to meet the diverse and growing needs of student populations.

Our team of experienced providers are available for short or long term consultation. Examples include:

Establishing Specialized Programs

Consultation to develop/strengthen specialized programs, including programs for students with autism, emotional and behavioral needs.

  • Options for full or part time on site staffing to support school staff with initial roll out

Focused Consultation

Supporting specific areas of need such as improving implementation of evidence based behavioral interventions, PBIS and restorative practices.

Student Evaluations

Our team is available to provide testing at the student’s current educational placement within district or in out of district placements as appropriate. Evaluation services include, but are not limited to:

  • Individual Student Program Review
  • Trauma Informed Functional Behavior Assessment
  • Educational Assessment (VBMAPP, ABLLS, PEAK)
  • Inclusion Evaluations

Intensive Behavioral Intervention and Stabilization (IBIS)

In some cases, student needs exceed the continuum of services available within the current setting. With a goal of outplacement prevention, our team can provide full time staffing with registered behavior technicians and high volume BCBA consultation. Our staff work hand in hand with school personnel to stabilize behavior and develop strategies and interventions to support student success.
