Transforming Special Education with Empowerment, Improvement & Measurable Results
Break Free of the Special Education Status Quo
Our team of experienced professionals can offer the expertise you need to achieve effective Special Education that gets real results for kids. This means that you don’t worry about staff turnover, inconsistent services, or developmental delays for kids with special needs.
This comprehensive approach offers districts:
- Compensatory service process creation, implementation support, and development for COVID-19 and other immediate need responses.
Our goal is to empower parents, teachers, and districts to navigate the beast of the special education system for the benefit of the kids within it. Helping parents get their kids what they need from their education. Think empowerment rather than simply advocacy — it’s a more holistic approach.

- IEP analysis with recommendations report

We want to change the current narrative of churn and burn Special Education leaders because we believe there is another way to build success and consistency over time.
Consistency and continuity are the key to moving from status quo to transformational results for students. Project IDEA can help.

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.
Focus on the science of continuous improvement:
What Districts, parents and kids need now
This gives a stigma to special ed and the pressure on teachers and admins often leads to high turnover and burnout.

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.
Each year, our success is indicated by our ability to release certain supports — with the ability to flex, increase, and adapt as your network’s needs evolve.
We know the landscape, we know how to get results, and we understand intimately the needs of your network.
