Two planners, two jobs. The Intervention Goal Builder sets a measurable goal for a tiered intervention. The PLAAFP / IEP Goal Builder drafts a present level and annual goal for a team to review.
Plot up to eight standard, scaled, T, z, or percentile scores on one normal curve with the publisher's confidence intervals, and choose which layers the chart shows. Turn on the SLD reference to shade the discrepancy range right on the curve, from the 2016 New Mexico regression table or a value from another published chart, labeled as one reference rather than an eligibility rule. Presentation mode steps a family or team through each score. The same page keeps a CHC ability guide, strengths-based report sentences, and the full score conversion table. Print a clean one-page summary or save the chart as an image. Scores stay in the browser tab.
Practical, research-supported references connecting assessment, intervention, behavior, and special education decision-making. I wrote them to show the reasoning behind the tools, not only the tools.
Two browser-based tools I built for creating curriculum-based measurement probes on demand. The MAZE Passage Generator builds reading comprehension probes. The Math Probe Builder covers 59 skills, from counting and early numeracy through two-step equations, with practice, skill check, and progress monitoring modes. Nothing is stored and no student data leaves the browser.
Map the full behavioral sequence in one view: setting events, antecedent triggers, the problem behavior, and what maintains it. The diagram places the desired behavior and a realistic alternative replacement behavior side by side, so teams can see what they are actually asking the student to do instead. Built for FBA and BIP development, IEP meetings, and MTSS problem-solving conversations. Fill it in on screen, then print or save as a PDF.
Build a complete behavior support plan across four strategy areas: setting events, prevention, teaching, and consequences. Each column offers common evidence-based options to check, plus Other fields for interventions specific to your student and setting. Designed to move teams past a list of consequences and toward a plan that makes the problem behavior irrelevant, ineffective, and inefficient. Print or save as a PDF when finished.
A practical checklist for identifying organization, planning, task initiation, self-monitoring, and follow-through supports. Two-sided printable pamphlet. Read it on screen, print it as a handout, or download either side.
These materials were developed over a long career in schools and are informed in part by Dr. Russell Barkley's lectures.
Three browser tools for a short, contained sensory break. Pour rainbow sand and watch it pile and settle, draw mandalas where every stroke is mirrored around the centre, or work through a pop-it grid that never runs out. Each one has a full-screen mode. Everything runs in the browser: nothing to install, no account, no student data collected. They work on a school Chromebook as they are. Sound is off by default and reduced-motion settings are respected.
The evaluation pipeline I built to run my own caseload. Every student sits in one matrix: evaluation scope, due date, current phase, eligibility, prior written notice, rating scales, and related services. Timelines count themselves down, so nothing slips quietly past a due date. Built around what IDEA actually requires for evaluations, re-evaluations, and exclusionary factor documentation. Try the live demo, or reach out about setting it up for your team.
Free school psychology resources for families, educators, and school teams, including guidance on mental health, crisis response, school safety, and student support.
Official information related to special education rights, evaluation, eligibility, IEPs, procedural safeguards, and disability education protections.
Research-based information and implementation guidance for positive behavioral interventions and supports across school settings.
Resources related to social and emotional learning, school climate, and evidence-informed practices for supporting student development.
Open curriculum and instructional materials that educators can search, adapt, and use to support teaching and learning.
The What Works Clearinghouse (WWC) Practice Guides present recommendations for educators to address challenges in their classrooms and schools based on reviews of research.
Give all girls with ADHD a fair start in life by getting them screened before their 8th birthday.

Schools often have the right people and strong intentions, but the systems around evaluation, documentation, intervention, behavior support, curriculum access, and communication can become difficult to manage. Share a challenge your school, organization, or team is facing, and I can help identify whether consultation, resource design, workflow support, or a practical tool might be useful.
