FAQ

Do you accept School Pos?

Yes! We are happy to work with school districts to complete orders from our store for individual or groups of teachers. We accept purchase orders, can provide formal estimates, or complete any vendor paperwork you may need to support your district’s purchasing process. Submit a PO to [email protected] or request our W9 to get started!

What's the difference between the Membership, Courses, and Curriculum Access?

The Membership gives you continuous access to a growing library of professional development, monthly trainings, resources, and practical tools you can use right away. It’s designed for educators, clinicians, and teams who want consistent support, fresh ideas, and ready-to-use materials all year long.

Courses are focused, start-to-finish learning experiences. Each course dives deep into one specific topic with structured modules, step-by-step instruction, and a clear learning path. You move through the content intentionally to build mastery in that area.

Curriculum Access is a complete, standards-aligned curriculum platform with lessons, materials, data tracking, and implementation tools built for special education classrooms. It helps you actually teach the skills, not just learn about how to teach them.

How do I get the resources I purchase?

The resources you purchase are delivered electronically. We will not be shipping any finished products to you – they are all electronically downloadable.

How can I get started learning to best support my child or student?

We offer a lot of free information on everything from behavior supports to academic instruction to communication skill building. Start off at our blog, check out our YouTube videos, listen to our weekly podcast, and go in-depth with our free webinars.
