We can help you navigate what can be a maze.

The SMC team will provide you with a map.

Individual education plans are a legally binding contract and incredibly important to ensure that your child obtains the services, resources, tools and strategies needed to have the equal opportunity for learning that the federal law intends.

A classroom observation can provide the information needed to assist the teacher and child.

The SMC team has provided hundreds of strategies to teachers that have assisted in enhancing the learning and minimizing the obstacles.

The goals on an IEP are critical to your child’s success.

The goals are to include tools, resources and strategies to increase your child’s skill set and bridge skill gaps.

Providing your child with the accommodations and strategies needed to bridge the skill gaps is critical to increase learning.

“Note a prompt is not a strategy.”

The goal of an IEP is to increase learning and independence of a child in the learning environment.
