Why us?

Because, Conflict is Inevitable - Agreeability is Optional

If you are a public school system, you provide Special Education services. Everything your Special Education personnel, general education personnel, and administrators do every day could either result in conflict, or prevent conflict.

Your personnel need to be trained in Special Education; they need to be SPEDucated. We provide the SPEDucation your personnel need in order to be more effective at their job, minimize conflict, and increase the ability of all parties to agree.

We travel the country providing training and staff development for educators and administrators regarding the IDEA (Individuals with Disabilities Education Act), effective communication skills, conflict / dispute resolution, and facilitating productive IEP (Individualized Education Program) meetings.

We also present frequently at regional meetings of educators, state conferences, and national institutes on topics dealing with the education of our students with disabilities.

Parents of children with special needs may benefit from the training, support, and advocacy services we offer. Special Education can be confusing and intimidating, let us equip you to be an even more effective advocate for your child.

Additionally, if you are an individual, a couple, or even a business, you may be faced with a conflict that you cannot resolve. Our trained mediators provide fair, impartial, neutral facilitation services to individuals, families, and businesses that seek to reach agreement through the process of alternative dispute resolution.

By providing services at times and locations that meet the needs of the participants, our full attention is directed toward facilitating an agreement that results in the participants' satisfaction, while being both time and cost effective. Our future-oriented techniques serve to encourage and increase the participants' ability to agree.

Why do we exist? It's simple; because Conflict is inevitable - Agreeability is optional. We exist to help you increase your Agreeability!
