Services

“Lyndsay was an integral part of our College Counseling Team. She was a tremendous resource when I had a postsecondary planning meeting scheduled with a student who had a diagnosed disability. Lyndsay provided invaluable insights about the student as well as the type of program and support services that would be the best fit for them.”

"As individuals with disabilities progress through their education into high school the question of 'What’s next?' can be scary and daunting for families. Lyndsay listens to her clients and families wishes and desires and synthesizes information into a clear pathway to create a meaningful and fulfilling life for individuals with disabilities beyond them aging out of educational systems.

Lyndsay’s knowledge and support helps families start connecting the final pieces of the puzzle to be able to finally see the bigger picture they have been working hard over the years to achieve for their loved one with a disability."

"Lyndsay played a big role when it came to helping during my son’s transition. Everyone fears the day a student with special needs turns 22. However, Lyndsay guided us through the process by providing the necessary resources to assist in job placement, programs for further education, planning for independence and guidance for coping with the changes ahead. Her compassion and honestly went above and beyond our expectations.”

"Lyndsay’s expertise in collaborating with agencies was instrumental in establishing a transition contract with DRS. This contract assisted Lyndsay in providing over 400 students with job exploration counseling, work-based learning experiences, counseling on postsecondary education programs, workplace readiness training, and instruction in self advocacy. Her services were vital in helping young adults to plan for their future and realize their goals in employment, recreation, and daily life.

Lyndsay is skilled in writing meaningful transition plans for young adults. She participates in transition planning committees with surrounding school districts to enhance services to students and families. She is skilled in collaborating with educators and other key agencies. She stays on top of current trends in the field and is passionate about the work she does.”

"Lyndsay Palach Shelton is detail oriented, competent and exceptionally knowledgeable of Transition services and resources. She has an astute ability to assess a student and determine and communicate their individual needs."

"Elizabeth genuinely cares about her students, their families, and their future goals as they transition into adulthood, and has a tremendous amount of knowledge working with individuals who struggle with social skills. She builds a connection and mutual trust with her students and for students who can struggle significantly with social skills that is not always an easy task.

Elizabeth has a great understanding of individual’s strengths and weaknesses and has an ability to build up an individual’s weakness areas using techniques that make the unknown seem less scary for the individual. She is an integral part of a team that can help an individual with disabilities be successful as they transition into adulthood and increased independence."

"Elizabeth Robbins is a fierce advocate for her students. She is an excellent special educator who has mastered the art of individualization, and she is not afraid to put in the time necessary to ensure successful outcomes for her students."

"My son met his compassionate special educator, Elizabeth Robbins, while he was in high school. She had the ability to create a safe place for our son by strategically scheduling and spelling out his days - which is important since he thrives on consistency. She was also a great help by assisting the formation of social groups that allowed him to create friendships, make appropriate modifications to learning activities to fit his level but still challenged him.

Elizabeth was my son’s safe haven; she had the ability to provide for him when he needed it. These programs and planning provided him with the opportunity to navigate and advocate for himself.”

"When my granddaughter was not meeting the social/emotional milestones for her age, I consulted a highly respected colleague in the field-Elizabeth Robbins. I valued her as an expert in children with autism and was curious if my granddaughter was exhibiting some early signs.  I was aware Elizabeth had trained with award-winning specialists in the field of social learning and trusted her to screen my granddaughter. She worked one on one with her, instructing her how to regulate her emotions, impacting the quality of all of our lives.

My experiences of Elizabeth’s abilities are not limited to my granddaughter. As a high school teacher, I have witnessed countless students who have met or exceeded their potential with her interventions. Her focus has always been on what the student could do, easing their apprehensions of what they couldn’t do. She advocates for her students, and they in turn build trust in her."
