Virtually every educational institution must comply with both the Americans with Disabilities Act and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act. We can assist in identifying necessary policy revisions and establishing targeted professional development to ensure disability law standards are met.

The U.S. Department of Justice and the U.S. Department of Education have greatly increased their focus on program and physical accessibility for individuals with disabilities. Our consultants provide basic or advanced-level training on removing barriers to accessibility with regard to academic participation, student activities, physical facilities and electronic content. This training is appropriate for disability services coordinators, facilities managers, and any administrators or senior staff members associated with the enforcement of civil rights issues and disability-related programs and offices on campus.

Public schools have special duties to provide students with disabilities access to services designed to meet their unique needs. Our consultants provide training on the latest requirements on topics such as eligibility, “child find,” evaluations, IEP development and implementation, behavior management, manifestation determinations, procedural safeguards, and conflict resolution options. This training is appropriate for special education administrators, pupil services personnel, school psychologists, intervention specialists, and related services personnel.
