Parent Engagement
At Kids First Collaborative, we are passionate about engaging families in education. We believe that parent engagement is one of the most powerful predictors of student success. Given the complexities of special education procedures, we believe it is particularly important to engage families of children with disabilities in the education process. Kids First consultants work with school districts as they seek to partner with families. We facilitate parent trainings with respect to the IEP process and provide hands on workshops for both staff and parents with respect to effective IEP goal writing. If your school is interested in more effectively partnering with families, please contact us.
Individual student problem-solving
We recognize the challenges that educators face. Too often we are asked to do more with fewer resources. Sometimes all we need is an outside perspective to help us move forward in the problem-solving process and truly identify effective interventions, strategies, and supports for students. Kids First Consultants have extensive experience facilitating student problem-solving teams. Our consultants are licensed school psychologists and school administrators who can help school teams interpret school-wide and individual student data, design effective interventions, and monitor student progress. If you would like to improve your school's problem-solving process, please contact us.
PSYCHOEDUCATIONAL Evaluations
Kids First Collaborative conducts psychoeducational evaluations on behalf of school districts. Our licensed school psychologists are comprehensive and student-centered in our approach to identifying strengths and needs and designing interventions to support student learning and social emotional development.
