Ensure all students have what they need to be successful
Special education and MTSS supports are critical to creating more inclusive and equitable learning environments. Despite increased spending, hard work, and dedication, school districts of all sizes and demographics continue to struggle to implement special education, intervention, and social-emotional support programs that are cost-effective and deliver results for students.
But achieving better results is possible. Over the past two decades, District Management Group has identified best practices for improving equity and outcomes for students with disabilities, students requiring intervention supports, and students with social, emotional, or behavioral needs and has supported dozens of districts nationwide.
In addition, our DMSchedules for Special Education scheduling software enables efficient and coordinated schedule creation and management for interventionists, special educators, related service providers, and support staff.
