Individualized, 1:1 in-home and community-based support that helps students practice, generalize, and strengthen IEP-aligned skills beyond the school day.
Who We Are
Coach-Mentors partners with school districts, CSE teams, and families to deliver individualized, 1:1 support for students with IEPs. Our work extends learning beyond the classroom by helping students practice and generalize IEP-driven skills at home and in the community—where independence, emotional regulation, and functional growth develop most effectively.
