Behavioral challenges are an effect, not a cause.

Find the origin to solve the behavioral problem

Sometimes, students with disabilities land in the disciplinary process.

It’s unfortunate, but it happens more frequently than schools would like to admit.

We work together to find the origin of the behavior and put a structured behavioral plan in place to break the cycle.

    Behavioral Plans

    We work with your family to understand the behaviors, gather documentation, and create a structured behavioral support plan.

    Educational Advocacy

    Students facing disciplinary action need an advocate by their side. We act as a liaison between the family and school, advise on student rights, and navigate the disciplinary process with you.

    Due Process & Intervention

    Perry Educational Consultants can help facilitate due process, act as an expert witness for your case, and develop behavioral interventions to replace problematic behaviors.

Restorative practices offer the opportunity to learn from mistakes, correct any harm that results from their actions, and restore relationships that have been disrupted by their conduct.

Critical Theory of Discipline

 FAQs

  • The discipline process varies depending on the length, severity, pattern of prior behaviors and interventions, and whether the student has a disability or not. However, it is recommended that families speak with someone who is familiar with your child’s rights and has a thorough understanding of due process.

  • You should consult with an advocate in order to ensure that your child's rights are protected and that the best argument is made as to why your child should not be suspended or expelled.

  • Behavioral issues are the effect of an underlying concern - whether it is biological, psychological, or environmental.

    If you believe your child may have an underlying condition affecting behavior, it is advised to contact the school to initiate an evaluation. Parents may also pursue a private evaluation with a qualified professional such as a developmental pediatrician or neuropsychologist.

  • Due process is a formal way to resolve disputes. It is often a later stage of the disciplinary cycle.

    Due process can only be filed for special education disputes. Families have a right to have an impartial hearing officer and to present evidence and witnesses at the hearing.

    Perry Educational Consultants can provide expert witness testimony for due process hearings.

  • Restorative practices are skills and processes often used in classrooms to build relationships, create connections, and prevent harm before it occurs. Restorative justice is an opportunity for individuals to take responsibility for their actions and work with those affected.
