About us
The real standard for teaching functional academics. Developed by teachers for teachers, SDES has created a comprehensive, evidence-based roadmap with a scope and sequence designed to empower students with complex learning challenges to increase their independence and reach their full potential. By providing a clear and actionable framework for educators to address the unique needs of the students in their classroom in a structured and meaningful way, for the first time, districts can expect fidelity of use providing the much-needed consistency across grade levels. Thought-leaders in the special education realm, this is a game-changing data-driven program that includes all of the tools to enable educators to create concrete data-based reporting necessary to drive real accountability. Our ongoing collaborative work with educators, students, families, and administrators provides the unprecedented connection and in-depth understanding of the learning community we serve, which sets us apart from the others. At SDES we lead from the heart and are committed to recognizing and valuing everyone's journey. We are avid students of life who are passionately listening, learning, and finding new ways to push the status quo to enable every person to reach their true potential. We care passionately about the well-being of our community and strive to improve the lives of people with disabilities in measurable and meaningful ways. We are person-centered at every interaction.
