Short-term targeted support without changing student placement (District-Level Support from GNETS)

EAA’s consultative model supports districts when a student is struggling behaviorally in their home school but may not require a separate school‑ placement. This includes: 

Direct Consultation: 📋

• Onsite observations by GNETS staff 

• Written behavior reports with recommendations for staff, administrators, and IEP teams 

• Collaborative problem-solving and strategy modeling for school teams 

• Guidance on implementation fidelity for BIPs and evidence-based‑ practices 

• Optional student observations and history review to inform next steps. 

Indirect Consultation: 🔍

• Review of psychological evaluations, discipline data, BIPs, IEPs, and intervention history 

• Verbal recommendations for educators and district leadership 

• Assistance identifying needed data collection or modifications to existing plans 

FBA Coaching: 💬

Moderate level of support (housed within home districts) 

The Satellite/Small Group‑ Setting extends EAA’s therapeutic expertise directly into district schools, allowing students to receive targeted behavioral and instructional support while staying connected to their home community and general education peers. 

Core Features:

• Use of evidence-based‑ interventions, progress monitoring, and coaching to ensure fidelity of behavior plans.

• Layered Support for Classroom Teachers 

Outcome Focus: This setting is designed to increase student readiness for their least restrictive environment, allowing students to build academic and behavioral independence, strengthen social emotional‑ and interpersonal skills, experience success within their neighborhood school, and progress toward full-time general education participation.
