EBD and Special Education Program Consulting for Schools Helping schools reduce restraint, isolation, and staff burnout
Continua Consulting Group helps schools build trauma-informed, sustainable EBD and Special Education programs by implementing our 8 Domain EBD Rubric focused on evidence based behavioral and instructional interventions in an MTSS framework
Our team has extensive experience as former teachers, school psychologists, and administrators with deep practice in improving services for EBD and self-contained programs.
We empower educators to respond to students with insight and compassion by building understanding of the function of maladaptive behavior and applying evidence-based practices that foster skill-building of healthy replacement behaviors.
Ready to strengthen your services for youth with EBD?
Our unique 8-domain rubric provides a comprehensive plan to close common gaps often found in EBD programs. The 8 domains are:
- Leadership Practices
- Collaborative Practices
- Special Education Compliance and Case Management
- Data Collection Systems and Routines
- Levels, Points, and Reinforcement Systems
- Instructional and Relational Practices
- Safety
- Wrap-around Supports and Services
Continua’s roadmap for sustainable, responsive EBD development is grounded in implementation science.

reduction in restraints year-over-year
- Lakewood School District, 2024-2025 school year
“The 2024-2025 school year will be the first year a teacher is returning to the position at ECE. I believe the support and guidance provided by Continua has played a big part in this. The professional development was focused on program specifics such as intervention matching and data collection as well as more background knowledge around ACEs and the function of behavior. Structures and protocols were introduced, taught, modeled, all while being responsive to program and staff needs.”
