To empower individuals of all abilities by fostering opportunities for success through customized, innovative solutions.

Our History

TES is a privately held company established in 1997 by Dr. Nancy J. Lavelle, who also founded the nationally recognized non-profit Institute for the Redesign of Learning (IRL). In 2019, TES was acquired by key members of the senior management team. From our early start as a consulting company to charter schools, we have thoughtfully expanded our services in California, Michigan, Ohio, and beyond, where we now operate eight multi-specialty clinics. In person and online, we are proud to serve thousands of children and adults with unique needs at hundreds of public, charter, and private school sites, group homes, and our family-centered clinics.
