The real standard for teaching functional academics. Developed by teachers for teachers, SDES has created a comprehensive, evidence-based roadmap with a scope and sequence designed to empower students with complex learning challenges to increase their independence and reach their full potential. By providing a clear and actionable framework for educators to address the unique needs of the students in their classroom in a structured and meaningful way, for the first time, districts can expect fidelity of use providing the much-needed consistency across grade levels. Thought-leaders in the special education realm, this is a game-changing data-driven program that includes all of the tools to enable educators to create concrete data-based reporting necessary to drive real accountability. Our ongoing collaborative work with educators, students, families, and administrators provides the unprecedented connection and in-depth understanding of the learning community we serve, which sets us apart from the others.
