A clearer starting point

When a student is finding school difficult, the next step matters.

Teachers may be trying several approaches. Families may be asking what their child needs. School leaders may be looking for a plan that staff can put into practice consistently.

Consultation creates time to look at the whole picture: the student’s strengths, the demands of the learning environment, what has already been tried, and what would make the school day more manageable.

Areas of support

Connect planning with everyday practice.

Consultation can focus on an individual student, a classroom concern, or the way a school team organizes its supports. The scope is agreed together.

01 / Student planning

Individual plans with practical priorities

Bring together information about a student’s strengths, interests, learning needs, and current supports. Contribute to Inclusion and Intervention Plans (IIPs) or your school’s individual planning framework, with meaningful goals and clear responsibilities.

02 / Classroom participation

Strategies and accommodations that fit

Explore adjustments to instruction, routines, learning tasks, and the classroom environment. Identify ways to support participation and independence that teachers and support staff can use during the school day.

03 / Regulation and engagement

Understand what gets in the way

Work through concerns such as difficulty starting tasks, becoming overwhelmed, avoiding schoolwork, or managing transitions. Develop supportive responses, opportunities to practise skills, and a consistent approach across the adults involved.

04 / School team consultation

Build shared understanding and staff confidence

Support teachers, learning support staff, educational assistants, and school leaders in working through concerns together. Translate recommendations into clear roles and realistic routines. Discuss focused staff learning as part of the agreed consultation.

05 / Family collaboration

Bring family and student perspectives into the plan

Help families and school teams clarify concerns, prepare questions, and agree on priorities. Make room for the student’s own perspective in a way that fits their age, communication, and preferences.

06 / Transitions

Keep support connected through change

Plan for changes between classrooms, grades, schools, or programs. Identify the preparation, communication, and ongoing supports that may help a student navigate the next stage.

Northern Saskatchewan

Start with the strengths of your school community.

Local educators, students, and families bring knowledge that matters. Consultation begins by listening to those perspectives and understanding the priorities, relationships, and resources in your setting.

Work with First Nations and Métis school communities is approached collaboratively, with respect for local leadership, culture, language, and community priorities. Recommendations are developed with the people who will use them.

The aim is a plan your team can understand, put into practice, and adapt as needs change.

Dr. Chris de Feijter

Experience from the classroom to coordinated student support.

Chris’s 23 years in special education span teaching, coordination, and consultation. This brings an understanding of both the daily work of supporting students and the wider task of bringing people, plans, and services together.

His approach emphasizes careful listening, collaborative problem solving, and practical recommendations. The starting questions are straightforward: What is happening now? What has already been tried? What do the student and the team need next?

The process

A shared focus. Clear next steps.

01

Start with your priorities

Tell us about the concern, the school or community involved, and what you hope the consultation will help you address. A brief initial description is enough.

02

Agree on the scope

Clarify the consultation focus, participants, format, timing, fees, and expected deliverables. Arrangements for consent and sharing relevant information are confirmed before work begins.

03

Develop practical next steps

Bring the relevant perspectives together and identify priorities, strategies, and responsibilities that fit the setting. Written recommendations or planning support can be included in the agreed scope.

04

Review and refine

Where follow-up is included, review what has helped, what remains difficult, and what needs adjusting. Keep the plan connected to everyday practice.

Common questions

Before you enquire.

Who can request special education consulting?

Schools, school divisions, education authorities, educators, and families in Northern Saskatchewan can contact STG. The consultation arrangement and the people involved are clarified before work begins.

Can you help with an existing IIP or student support plan?

Yes. Consultation can help a team review its current priorities, strategies, and progress within an Inclusion and Intervention Plan or the school’s own planning process. The work builds on the team’s knowledge and involves families and students as appropriate.

Is this a psychoeducational assessment or therapy service?

This service focuses on special education consultation and educational planning. Formal psychoeducational assessment, diagnosis, and psychotherapy are outside the scope of this consulting service. If additional assessment or treatment is needed, STG can discuss an appropriate next step.

Can more than one member of the school team participate?

Yes. Consultation may involve educators, school leaders, support staff, families, and other relevant professionals, with appropriate consent and a shared purpose. Participants and information-sharing arrangements are agreed in advance.

What are the fees, format, and availability?

Contact STG to discuss your needs. The scope, format, timing, fees, and any follow-up are confirmed before consulting begins.
