Specialized Learning Services

Through no fault of their own, educators are often ill-equipped to serve many of our most vulnerable and challenging student populations. We believe that it is the right of all educators to have access to the highest quality of support, for all students to receive a safe, rewarding, and appropriate educational experience, and for caregivers to have the necessary means to support the health and well-being of their families and confidently engage in their communities.  Our mission is to foster connection and a sense of well-being in others so that our students, schools, and communities thrive.

Specialized Learning Services offers customized professional development opportunities tailored to meet the unique needs of your organization. Whether your district/cooperative needs targeted training for a small group of staff working with individual students or district-wide training, our team can support your professional learning needs. Our team appreciates the varying challenges presented to all staff, from district-level administration to paraprofessionals, as they educate students with diverse learning needs. We are here to educate, train, and support you in this endeavor.
