About Inclusive Educational Consulting, PLLC

Our Philosophy

At Inclusive Educational Consulting, PLLC, we believe that inclusivity is a mindset, not just a model in a classroom.

We believe that every student, child and adult has the potential and the right to learn. We all have the capability to learn and grow, and we strive to create an inclusive and supportive learning environment that empowers all to reach their full potential and achieve their goals. We do this by educating and training the adults in the life of those with varying disabilties. Individuals succeed best when their team is trained, educated and believe they have limitless learning potential.

We believe in neurodiversity, and learning from adults with disabilities in order to promote emotional safety, security and respect for all individuals. We believe in learning and practicing skills while in natural environments in order to lessen the gap of generalization. Let's practice within settings that mimic, mirror and/or reflect our environment in order to best support growth and confidence.
