Overview
Networks is dedicated to promoting inclusive communities beginning with our youngest community members. Over the years we have worked in partnership with children, their families, and schools to develop individualized strategies and supports that promote inclusive environments and enrich the educational experiences of all. Whether it is educating teachers at universities, assisting individual students, helping schools examine their approaches, facilitating Transition Planning workshops, or helping develop home-based curricular programs... we are here to help!
The following are just some examples of what we offer in our Inclusive Educational & Transition Supports:
- Team Based Transition Planning Supports - Utilizing the Person Centered Planning approach we will support the student and their team in working towards their goals for the future. Whether it is employment or post secondary education we can help. Understanding how Social Security work incentives enable you to work in the community is a key component of transition planning. Individualized benefits counseling is available as well.
- Tutoring and Enrichment - We realize that education is invaluable and that is why our tutoring and enrichment services are customized to meet each individual's unique learning style and learning needs. We work with students, parents/caregivers, and schools to create unique tutoring/enrichment experiences that build upon a students current skills and progress them forward. Our staff is dedicated to making the most out of each opportunity and experience that we have with an individual. These services are offered in the student's home, at school, or in the community.
- Education Planning - Our professional staff can assist students, families, and school employees in making the most out of each student's education. We can assist in the development of educational plans for use in school, at home, and in the community. Our goal in working with any student, family, or school is to maximize the learning potential and learning opportunities for all students.
- Training - Our staff can provide training to meet the needs of individual students, their families, support people, as well as school staff with both small and large group instruction. Our staff has experience both inside and outside of the classroom and has a unique perspective and skill set that will allow them to create a training to meet the specific needs of an individual or group. Such training topics may include but are not limited to: transition planning, inclusive education, benefits counseling and adapting curriculum to meet individual students needs.
