What is a case collaborative?

A Case Collaborative typically refers to a partnership or organization where multiple school districts or agencies work together to provide specialized services to students with unique educational needs, often focusing on special education. These collaboratives pool resources, expertise, and staff to offer programs and support that individual districts might not be able to provide on their own. The goal is to ensure that all students receive appropriate, high-quality educational opportunities in the least restrictive environment. Case Collaboratives often coordinate services such as speech therapy, occupational therapy, and specialized classroom instruction.
