Can I build my own professional development workshop?

Yes! We offer Build-Your-Own PD experiences tailored to your team’s specific goals, learners, and context. We’ll collaborate to design a meaningful, hands-on session that aligns with your values and supports your real-world challenges. You tell us what matters—then we help bring it to life.

Do you offer in-person visits or just virtual services?

We offer both. Many services are available virtually, but we also provide in-person workshops, evaluations, and consultation depending on location, scheduling, and availability. We’re happy to discuss travel options or hybrid formats.

Are your workshops aligned with CEUs or licensure requirements?

Yes, most workshops can be adapted to meet continuing education or state licensure credit requirements. We’re also happy to provide documentation, certificates of completion, and assistance with district or university approval processes.

Can you help with our school’s inclusion plan or special education strategy?

Absolutely. Dr. Piselli offers in-depth consultation and program evaluation services to support inclusive systems transformation. Whether you’re reimagining your IEP process, redesigning classroom supports, or seeking feedback on your inclusion goals—we can help you chart a human-first path forward.

How do I get started?

You can contact us here with your ideas, questions, or needs. We’ll respond promptly and set up a time to talk. From there, we’ll co-design the next steps—no pressure, no jargon, just real support.
