Strategic planning and policy development
I assist organizations to align (or develop) policies and practices in special education with their overall mission statement or vision. Examples of activities I have undertaken include:
- Development of policies and procedures and an accompanying manual to direct the work of the special education department
- Development of a within-school referral and intervention system to ensure student learning support needs are identified efficiently and effectively
- Design and implementation of a case management system to deliver more effective services to special needs students
- Design and implementation of an information management system (including a computerized database of special needs students)
- Analysis of faculty skill level and development of PD plans
- Identification of specialized skills needed to serve particular student populations (such as ASD, ADD, Dyslexia etc.)
- Review and development of admissions policies and procedures
