Consult
At Pencil & Pathways, we provide thoughtful and collaborative consultation services to help families, educators, and school teams understand students’ learning, behavioral, and emotional needs. Whether you're seeking clarity, planning next steps, or navigating existing supports, we’re here to help.
We regularly partner with parents, teachers, administrators, and evaluators to:
Identify when an evaluation or support plan may be needed
Interpret prior assessments, IEPs, 504 plans, or intervention data
Develop academic, behavioral, and social-emotional strategies
Provide guidance on accommodations and classroom supports
Support the design, implementation, or refinement of systems that serve students receiving special education services
From one-time consultation or ongoing collaboration, our goal is to help students thrive—by supporting the adults who guide them.
