This comprehensive guide explains the range of general education supports available in Kansas schools, helping parents understand how students can receive help without needing an IEP or 504 plan. You’ll learn what general education supports are, how they differ from special education, and how they fit into school-wide systems like MTSS. The resource covers common supports such as small-group instruction, classroom accommodations, behavior plans, and check-in/check-out systems. It also outlines how these supports are identified, how progress is monitored, and how parents can request or participate in problem-solving meetings. This Kansas-focused guide emphasizes that all students have the right to access the tools and resources they need to succeed, and that early, proactive support can prevent more intensive challenges later. Perfect for parents who are concerned about their child’s academic or behavioral struggles and want to understand the full range of school-based support options before pursuing a formal plan.

Brett takes the time to truly get to know a child and understand their unique needs and interests. His knowledge of the education system and child development is very valuable in helping families make informed decisions and navigate the education system to best serve their child.

Brett is one of the most thoughtful practitioners I have worked with in my career. He is extremely thorough in his psychological evaluations. In therapy, he is as empathetic as he is competent in working with people who are facing great challenges.
