Work With Us.

Audri M. Sandoval Gomez, Ph.D. presents an award for Outstanding Inclusive Practices.

Working with Thompson Policy Institute on Disability (TPI) is a commitment to changing policy, practice, and research together to work to ensure equity and inclusivity for people with disabilities. We do this by addressing barriers that limit access to learning, living, working, and the pursuit of enviable and dignified lives. Inclusion, first and foremost, centers the disability community. Inclusion encompasses practice, policy, and research that focus on providing equitable opportunities. In all aspects of our work, TPI embraces Chapman’s perspective of diversity and focuses on the practice of including people by recognizing, respecting, and valuing a combination of differences. When backgrounds, interests, and perspectives are understood and supported, value is added to the community and institute at large.

How We Can Work With You.

School
Transformation.

We support school transformation through comprehensive, schoolwide implementation strategies that are grounded in multi-year strategic planning. By aligning initiatives across systems, conducting in-depth needs assessments, and evaluating programs for effectiveness, we help schools build sustainable models of continuous improvement. Our work also includes the development of model sites that serve as exemplars of inclusive, high-impact practices.

Professional
Learning and Coaching.

Our professional learning and coaching model is designed to build leader, educator, and paraprofessional capacity through ongoing, job-embedded support grounded in evidence-based practices. We provide tailored coaching and training that supports implementation fidelity, fosters reflective practice, and promotes instructional strategies that improve outcomes for all students. By aligning professional learning with school and district priorities, we ensure that all educators are equipped to lead sustainable change and drive continuous improvement.

Customized
Support.

We offer customized support that is responsive to each school or district’s unique context, strengths, and areas for growth. Through collaborative planning, we co-develop solutions that are aligned with these priorities and tailored to specific goals.

Our approach ensures that strategies are practical and sustainable.
