Educators, equipped with the right tools and training, can positively impact learners. A collaborative Individualized Education Plan Team develops impactful plans that honor learners’ strengths and needs, guiding them towards independence and success in all educational settings. "

"I love serving the district’s learners with the most unique learning profiles because I’m rewarded daily with their resilience, progress toward their learning goals and excitement for school. My team has a great deal of experience in their respective areas and bring valuable perspective to every situation. We have supportive relationships with parents and care providers outside of our agency and are genuinely eager to take on each new challenge."
