When the red lights flash and the stop arm comes out, every driver stops.

In Minnesota, drivers must stop at least 20 feet from a school bus that has its red lights flashing and its stop arm extended. That's true whether you're behind the bus or coming toward it on an undivided road. Stay stopped until the lights go off and the arm is pulled back in.

Permit Prep covers school bus rules and other safety laws that show up on the Minnesota permit test, with visuals and practice questions.

1:1 sessions with a licensed Special Education instructor and certified driving instructor, in person or virtual. Call or text (651) 505-2250.

Big goals start with small, clear steps.

Setting a goal like "get a part-time job" feels easier when it's broken down: explore what interests you, practice filling out an application, and set a date to apply. Checking off each step builds confidence and independence.

Through Pre-ETS, L&S Consulting helps students with disabilities set real goals for work and school and plan the steps to reach them.

Students ages 14 to 22 with an IEP or 504 plan. Call or text (651) 505-2250 or email [email protected].

One lesson, many ways in.

Differentiated instruction means planning for different readiness levels from the start: offering choices in how students practice, using visuals and models, and giving more than one way to show learning. It helps students with IEPs and the whole class.

L&S Consulting's professional development gives general and special educators practical ways to differentiate without planning three separate lessons.

This is what inclusion looks like. 💛 Ellie's parents worried she would grow up without friends. Then Elyse came along in fifth grade, and the two have been side by side ever since, through car karaoke, bowling, prom, and the Belle Plaine homecoming court. One friend who decides to include someone can change a whole school.

The first day at a new job goes better with a plan.

Knowing how you'll get there, what to wear, who to ask for, and what to bring takes a lot of the stress out of day one. Practicing the route and a quick introduction ahead of time builds confidence.

New special educators: paperwork gets easier with a system.

A simple weekly routine, like one block for progress data, one for meeting prep, and one for parent contacts, keeps due dates from sneaking up. A shared checklist for each IEP step means nothing gets missed.

L&S Consulting's new-teacher coaching helps first-year special educators set up a paperwork system that works for their caseload.
