Specialized Education Target the WMAP as a cooperative special education program serving approximately 1200 students with disabilities across four school districts, indicating demand for specialized educational resources, assistive technologies, and professional development tailored to special education.

Unified District Network Leverage the cross-district collaboration (Wabash County, Wabash City, Manchester, Peru) to offer scalable solutions that can be deployed across multiple districts, such as shared services, vendor agreements, or consortium-based procurement for cost efficiency.

Funding Levers Note funding mix includes federal, state, and local sources; opportunities exist for grant-ready programs, compliance-driven solutions, and services that align with IDEA or related state education funding requirements.

Leadership & Focus Engage with Ann Higgins, Director of Special Education, and the WMAP governance structure to tailor proposals around continuum-of-services, student outcomes, and regulatory compliance, emphasizing partnerships with LEAs.

Operational Scale With a lean staff and multiple service roles (coordinators, psychologists, teachers, speech and therapy), there is potential for scalable offerings such as remote or on-site therapeutic services, assessment tools, and tech-enabled case management to improve efficiency.
