Our Goals

We approach each evaluation as an opportunity to support school districts in their efforts to provide effective educational services for every child they serve. Our ultimate goal is to provide recommendations for training, communication, organization, systems, and educational, social, and behavioral programming so that each child achieves their potential. As such, our process is individualized to address the unique needs and culture of each district. We want to ensure that special education programming is consistent with the district’s mission and the community’s values.
