SERVICES

Technical Assistance

I-Team technical assistance can be provided on a fee for service basis. The annual fee is $1550 per student. This yearly fee includes onsite and distance based technical assistance from I-Team Consultants up to 25 hours. The level of technical assistance is dependent on the needs of the student, the family, and the student's educational team. Once the needs are collaboratively identified, I-Team Consultants provide technical assistance monitored through a student action plan.

PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT

School District & Staff Training

Training fees are based on length of time of actual training regardless of the number of I-Team Consultants involved in the training or number of participants. Participants may include teachers, special educators, related service providers, administrators, family members, students or community members. These trainings are billed as half-day (up to 3.5 hours) at $450 and full-day (up to 7 hours) at $900 opportunities. Topics include:

Disability Specific Topics: learning impairment, multiple disabilities, developmental delay, Autism Spectrum Disorders, deafblindness, etc.

Academic & Recertification Courses

A course includes 15 hours of class time per credit plus two days of onsite consultation and mentoring. Class time can be face to face, online or a combination of the two. A course is developed in increments of 15 hours (15 hours, 30 hours or 45 hours). If participants desire UVM credits the course must be planned at least 3 months in advance and the school district would pay a reduced tuition rate to UVM.
