Our mission is to overhaul the manner by which special needs are met from an individualized and inefficient manner to a more effective, efficient and meaningful manner by creating infrastructure and resources proactively in counterdistinction to the predominant reactive approach. In short, shifting the balance from an IEP based system to an RTI based system that more appropriately leverages IEPs within the intervention system. This is getting the attention of major school districts and some of the largest private education institutions in the country. Our work is exciting because it provides a framework that brings together administrators and teachers with service providers and improves the way schools support their students but most rewarding is how the program changes the trajectory of so many individual students.

At Fun and Function we have embarked on a mission to help educators leverage sensory interventions as a structured system that supports all students. To make those interventions that can assist all students become "EDUCATION", not "SPECIAL EDUCATION". We provide a research based behavioral RTI program, a broad intervention system that provides teachers with tools and knowhow, thereby reaching more students and reducing the need for individualized interventions.
