Services
For Parents & Families
Linda provides expert guidance throughout the educational process, enabling parents to advocate effectively on behalf of their children.
Evaluation
Assistance in requesting (statutorily aligned) evaluations, interpreting assessment results, and understanding how those findings shape subsequent educational decisions, some of which could be life-changing for the student.
IEPs and 504 Plans
Ensuring that individualized education programs and Section 504 accommodations accurately reflect the student’s strengths, needs, long-term objectives, and how each can be fulfilled.
Meetings
Preparation and strategic support enabling parents or caregivers to participate with assurance and clarity in school-based meetings.
Behavior Supports
Development of positive, evidence-informed strategies tailored to the individual student’s requirements within the classroom setting, regardless of venue.
Transition Planning
Facilitation of seamless transitions at every critical juncture of a student’s educational journey.
School Closures or Consolidations
Linda Taylor’s experience in resolution of maximized benefit for all stakeholders, with the priority being students and their best outcomes:
- Attend all relevant school board meetings.
- IEP/504 plans follow the student:
- Level of service (LRE, or Least Restrictive Environment, per statutes) cannot change without a formal IEP meeting.
- Update Present Levels of Performance now—document all accommodations/supports (even informal ones “just being done” because the team knows your child needs them).
- Request transportation (and aide/nurse if applicable) if the new location creates barriers.
- Ask about sibling placement options to keep children together.
- Tour the new school and meet key staff (principal, nurse, office staff, cafeteria, specials teachers, etc.).
- Identify your main contact person at the new site.
- Submit all requests in writing (email or letter) and retain and archive copies.

For Staff and School Teams
Professional development offerings, designed to equip educators with enhanced understanding, empathy, and instructional efficacy in supporting students with diverse learning needs.
Customized Professional Development
Tailored training sessions developed and delivered to address the precise requirements of a school or district.

Each session aligns with contemporary educational standards and evidence-based best practices.
Legal Compliance

Inclusive Practices
Guidance in cultivating learning environments that embrace and equitably support all students, with particular emphasis on collaborative structures, universal accessibility, and the cultivation of belonging for every learner.
Collaborative Learning
Structured opportunities for professional dialogue, reflective practice, and collegial problem-solving, fostering a supportive climate in which educators can exchange insights and co-construct effective solutions.
Ongoing Support
Continued partnership beyond initial training through follow-up consultation and individualized coaching, reinforcing newly acquired competencies and promoting sustained implementation and impact.
School Closures or Consolidations
Linda Taylor’s experience in resolution of maximized benefit for all stakeholders, with the priority being students and their best outcomes:
- Involve all stakeholders in discussions and meetings: certified staff, support personnel, administrators, parents, business partners, and community members.
- Form an inclusive closure committee that includes community representatives.
- Engage key departments early (e.g., special education, transportation, facilities).
- Major considerations:
- Cost savings vs. expenses
- Age/condition of buildings
- Increased travel distance for families
- Capacity and space at receiving schools
- Demographic trends (in-migration/out-migration areas)
- Specialized programs: Can they be relocated intact? Will staff move with them?
