Services

Dr. Itzkowitz has provided consultation services to school districts and families throughout New England with the mission of transforming the lives of individuals with differing abilities and their families and facilitating positive relationships between families, schools, and adult service providers.  Dr. Itzkowitz’s consultation services include providing technical assistance, facilitating meetings, conducting professional development activities, evaluating the appropriateness of an individual student’s educational program, and serving as a bridge between school personnel and families.  She provides consultation services to support systems and families so that individuals with disabilities have access to the same opportunities and experiences as individuals without disabilities.  All of these activities are directed so that individuals with differing abilities acquire skills and have a wide array of experiences so that they can move in the direction of their dreams.  Below, you will find some of the services she has provided.  Individual services based upon the outcomes you would like to accomplish are at the heart of her consultation practice. Services can be conducted in person, on site, via phone, and/or Skype. She would be privileged to work with you to design customized consultation practices based upon your desired outcomes.
