A little about us... AIM provides a robust, one-stop-shop for specialized educational services. Our entire team comes from a background of working in education. We focus on the needs of students in special programs, using real language and our expertise to help schools stay in compliance. We are only based in school settings, meaning we are well-versed in education law.
Over 10 years ago, we founded this company with the vision and mission to have a broader impact on students and professionals in the special programs field by bringing innovative, cutting-edge ideas to the work. During those years of employment in traditional districts, our A.I.M. leaders were in the trenches. We were the ones responsible for keeping our districts and charter partners compliant. We went to the trainings to understand how to be the best practitioners and teachers that we could. We followed changes in the law, we learned new methods and tools and we pushed ourselves to better serve our student populations. When our districts or charters had problems with disproportionality or inequity or contentious parents, we sat with our leaders to develop a better process and built corrective action plans. We were the ones who spotted problems in the system, and we were the ones tasked with carrying out the changes that needed to be made. We were good at what we did. We began supervising, mentoring, and teaching. We moved up and we moved on and created AIM because we had a desire to take our knowledge and experiences to make a bigger impact.
Taking a leap of faith that we could impact more kids’ lives, we went out on our own, forming A.I.M. Out of the trunks of our cars at first, we empowered our growing team to challenge the status quo and collaborate with other pioneers in education. Through honesty and transparency, we bridge the gap between the medical and school communities so special learners have a fighting chance. We live by “real lives, real language.” We take complicated information and make recommendations that everyone understands so success stretches far beyond just that school building.
Our team believes that working in education can not just be about contracting. It needs to be a ‘partnership’ in order to provide the best services to students and families. We want to build a ‘partnership’ that helps provide a lasting impact on the community. Our goal is to provide a quality service, in a timely manner, and do it in an ethical, innovative way. While we are a business and profit is one of our goals, we want to accomplish our work in the shortest amount of time possible and reduce redundancy. We always ensure we provide an individualized approach to all evaluations, therapy, professional development training, coaching, and consultation. A.I.M. focuses on innovating our practice and being completely transparent with our clients.
Today, over 70 million children and adults are affected by autism. Each of them, have unique strengths, challenges and potential. Autism Speaks will be there for them. You and I can be too.
