Typical health issues include, but are not limited to, traumatic brain injuries, genetic disorders, mental retardation, and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder. Individual student evaluations include interviews with teacher and parent/guardian, one-on-one assessment with student, interpretive report of test results and determination of disability, as well as recommendations for intervention.

Consultation for Schools
Human Resource Consultation
PACE, PLC will meet with school principals or other district administrators to provide support related to staff/faculty recruitment, retention, staff development, performance issues, burnout, and similar HR issues.
Program Development, Evaluation and Implementation
Program development is a formal approach to creating new programs based on strategies deemed effective by empirical or research-derived information.
Program imlementation is the execution of a newly created program, and typically involves some degree of program evaluation and feedback during the early phases of the program.
Program evaluation is a structured system of examining and comparing existing programs to "best practice" or ideal programs. The primary purpose of program evaluation is to identify program needs, as well as to provide constructive feedback as to what modifications or enhancements can be made in order to produce a more effective and efficent program.
PACE, PLC will meet with school principals, district administrators, school faculty, psychologists, social workers, and other relevant staff to design and implement new programs (e.g., curriculum-based measurement, response-to-intervention model of identifying students with learning disabilities, positive behavioral supports, effective classroom environments, parent involvement and many other topics). Follow-up involves evaluation of program effectiveness and modification as needed. PACE, PLC will also work with building-level or district personnel to evaluate existing programs and make necessary improvements.
