Special Education
Supporting special education requires a comprehensive approach that encompasses various aspects such as Individualized Education Program (IEP) facilitation, program evaluation, and consultation for the most unique and challenging situations. IEP facilitation involves collaborating with educators, parents, and students to develop individualized plans that address the specific needs of each student with disabilities. Program evaluation ensures that special education programs are effectively meeting the needs of students and identifies areas for improvement. Consultation and support play a crucial role in providing guidance and expertise in navigating complex situations to ensure that every student receives the necessary resources and support to thrive in an educational setting.
