Special Education Consultants

A New Approach

Districts  have skill gaps when it comes to special ed. The truth is that most Special Education leaders have a 2-3 year tenure, making it impossible for a district to build success and consistency over time. Plus, those individuals are rarely a complete package and it is incredibly difficult to excel at every facet of Special Education. It’s a complicated beast of technical knowledge, leadership competencies, and the ability to navigate legal and parent challenges. We understand.

At Project IDEA our innovative approach to Special Education offers expertise across a range of needs for districts including highly experienced specialized consultants in instruction, management, projects, and more. 

This is a unique offering as it can be provided across a district — not limited to just one school. Embedding stability in special education — getting the quality schools need as they grow. 

Project IDEA saves districts money and time with expertise on a consultant basis, consistent access, and excellence in all areas of special ed.

What Districts, parents and kids need now

If you ask traditional district admins what they think when they consider special education in their school district, you might be surprised to hear that they are reticent to touch special ed due to the legal, emotional, and high costs associated with traditional offerings.

This gives a stigma to special ed and the pressure on teachers and admins often leads to high turnover and burnout.
At Project IDEA, we want to make it easier for districts to invest in special ed. Our mission is to help districts limit legal risk, inconsistency, and exposure by creating standards and processes that help clarify how to “do” special ed in a way that benefits the district, the parents of children with special needs, and most importantly, the kids themselves. Our consultants help districts changes expectations with clear, measurable processes for documentation, standards, and grounding of professional development. 

What makes our approach different

Special education has lacked consistency, funding, and comprehensive services….Until now.

ABOUT PROJECT IDEA​

About Us

Special Education administration experience focusing on legal cases and navigating the functions of being the Local Education Agent (LEA). Our expertise in the systems and inner workings of DPS and APS are unparalleled.

We are also unapologetic in our commitment to ensuring our daily work is antiracist. We see the intersection of racism and disability playing out in schools and a core part of our mission is to disrupt that system through continued learning and examination of our white privilege, bias, and fragility for our white staff and through amplifying the voices of BIPOC staff.

Our team offers experts across domains including related service providers, former principals, general educators, BCBAs and other disability-specific experts. This level of expertise ensures that we can support any level of student need and turn stagnating progress across individuals or groups of students into meaningful, demonstrable growth.

Our goal as an organization is to build the capacity of people within your organization.
