Special Education/504, School Counseling & Stop School Violence Grant

Picture







​MTPLC Special Education/504 Services

​
We recognize the critical role we can play in supporting students with disabilities, particularly in rural areas where schools may struggle to recruit and retain qualified special education staff. By offering a range of consulting services, we can help fill gaps in expertise and ensure that schools provide high-quality, legally compliant, and evidence-based support to students with disabilities.

Picture








​​MTPLC School Counseling Services

We can offer specialized services to assist schools in establishing and sustaining comprehensive school counseling programs spanning grades preK-12. Through targeted professional development and coaching, I will assist schools in providing the necessary support for student success. These services are accessible to all schools throughout the state, irrespective of their location or available resources.
