School Based Consultation

School-Based Consultation and Programming

Our Enhanced Collaborative Consult

We collaborate across fields of practice and seek to blend the best of each to develop individualized strategies and school/district-wide solutions to serve students who are disengaging from school, engaging in behaviors that interfere with their learning and mental health and/or are not progressing academically with current interventions. We seek out the strengths of our students and schools and develop programs designed to accelerate progress and maintain that success over time. Our consultation strives to be effective, durable and sustainable.

How we do that is what sets us apart from other approaches. Our extensive experience in numerous public and private schools has given us the perspective needed to identify strategies and systems that work and the knowledge to improve those strategies and systems that may be ineffective. We look at every student, school and district as an opportunity to bring out the “best” in everyone on a team and make lasting change. We value the expertise of all fields within a school’s ecosystem and believe that these fields should not co-exist separately from one another, but rather merge where possible and elevate everyone.

Early Intensive Behavioral Intervention (EIBI)

For learners up to 6 years old

Focus on early intervention, skill building and the prevention of unsafe behaviors for young children that struggle with language development, independent play, social interactions, self-care skills, early literacy/numeracy skills and self-regulation.

We offer a continuum of consultation options for school districts. A tailored consult package can include consult on any of the following:

Developing and/or staffing an on-site program for students that need intensive support
Assessment of skills and the function of behavior
Evaluation of current programming and recommendations for improved academic and behavioral programming
Training/Professional Development for special educators and BCBAs to build capacity within your district

School-Age Behavioral Support and Skill Development

For learners between 7-14 years old

Focus on addressing skill deficits and environmental contingencies that have contributed to the development of challenging behavior. Skill areas addressed include academics, social skills, leisure skills, language development, self-perception and self-regulation.

The ever-changing landscape of the student population can be difficult to plan support and programming for. Allow us to assist your district in designing effective programs to build sustained capacity within your district.

We offer a continuum of consultation options for school districts. We can create a customized consult package that addresses one student, classroom or even the entire school. This package could include any of the following:

Developing and/or staffing an on-site program for students that need support
Assessment of skills, the function of behavior or ecological assessments to determine necessary levels of support
Evaluation of current programming and recommendations for improved academic, social/emotional and behavioral programming
Training and support to classroom teachers on effective instruction and behavior management
Training/Professional Development for special educators, social workers, school counselors and BCBAs to build capacity within your district

Transition to Employment and Independent Living

For learners age 15+

Focus on the development of fulfilling employment, leisure activities and independent living. For those that struggle with being safe, consultation will also focus on strategies to increase quality of life through mitigation strategies and environmental variable management.

With the age of transition comes a shift in the focus of the IEP. We can offer a consultation package that addresses all necessary areas to prepare a learner for adulthood. A tailored consult package can include consult on any of the following:

Developing and/or staffing an on-site (school or vocational setting) program for students that need intensive support
Assessment of skills, the function of behavior or ecological assessments to determine necessary levels of support
Evaluations of current programming and recommendations for academic, vocational, life skills, social/emotional and behavioral programming
Training/Professional Development for special educators and BCBAs to build capacity within your district
Collaboration with adult service agencies to facilitate an effective transition of services
