INCLUSION SUPPORT SERVICES

STE Consultants is committed to providing inclusive education for people with disabilities in the least-restrictive environment. School districts are facing increasing pressure to provide supported inclusive education to complex students with challenging needs. We have years of experience establishing and maintaining effective inclusion programs in Bay Area public schools. Some elements of our inclusion services include:

• Staff training: An inclusive school is one where each student has a place and belongs to a community. A crucial first step in creating an environment of acceptance is training. STE consultants will not only train the staff working directly with a target student, but will provide school-wide workshops specific to a student.
  
  

• Team collaboration: Team communication and coordination is crucial. STE will effectively collaborate with families, psychologists, speech therapists, special & general education teachers, administrators, and support staff to insure a coordinated educational effort for each student.
  
  

• Direct Support: STE consultants will coordinate the inclusion effort at any school. We have a multitude of tools, instruments, and interventions to facilitate meaningful inclusion for any student. We utilize research-based educational and behavioral methodologies.
  
  

  • ABA/Discrete Trial: It’s not just for SDC settings! We can train and support staff to implement these methodologies in the general education environment.
    
    

  • Social Skills support: This is an important facet to any inclusion program. STE will facilitate Circle of Friends, Lunch and Recess Groups, as well as social skills training for students with a variety of learning styles.
    
    

  • Academic Support: As experiences classroom teachers STE can implement a variety of teaching strategies and curriculum modalities such as Lindamood-Bell, Open Court, Touch Math, Direct Instruction techniques, SRA and more. We can provide a push-in or pull-out service. Our aim is to integrate students with their peers as much as possible.
    
    

  • Assistive Technology: Often times our students require high- or low-technology assistance in the classroom to gain access to the curriculum or communication. We are skilled and experienced in implementing academic strategies facilitated by Intellitools, Intellipics, Co:Writer, Write: OutLoud, Inspiration/Kidspiration, Alphasmart, Boardmaker, Speaking Dynamically Pro, and many other AT devices.
