District-wide / Department Programs

The Focused Quality Review
Do you ever wonder about the quality of your program or that out of district placement? Would you like clear, realistic ideas on how to help your program improve? The Focused Quality Review provides you with real information that goes beyond the scope of traditional, minimum standards approaches. Our consultants will rate your program against the Autism Program Quality Indicators and our own Critical Skills Indicators. Your program gains a functional picture of its quality and a map for improvement.

The Critical Intervention This service is designed for the student with Autism or Asperger's whose program has collapsed or run into serious trouble. The student may have been suspended. Behavioral problems may be preventing learning. An Interim Alternative Educational placement may have started. Our team will examine all aspects of the program, develop a plan, and implement strategies to help resolve the issue and get student and program back on track. (Due to the intense and time consumptive nature of this intervention, only a very limited number are available during any school year.)

Classroom/Program Consultation, Training, Coaching, and Development Package
This new service provides a complete school year program. We start early in the year with training designed for your site. We provide skilled consultation and coaching throughout the year on an agreed on schedule. The number of visits ranges from five full days through thirty visits. Each visit concludes with Rapid Notes Reports, which offer practical suggestions and ideas that can be implemented quickly and targets for the next visit.

At the end of the year, a final report is developed and the school has the option of selecting our three-day Asperger's/Autism seminar to wrap up and plan for the coming year. In addition, any district that has contracted for this package receives two free parent information and training sessions. This package provides training for staff, ongoing development and implementation of that training, confidence for administrators in the quality of their program, and gains for students. While this service represents a "package" of services, it is custom designed for each participating district. It may include one classroom and team or a number of classrooms or programs.
