Please join us for “Collaborative Curiosity and the Unstuck Protocol: The Best Way to Prevent Restraint and Seclusion Is to Not Have a Reason to Even Consider It” with Jennie DunKley. 

As a special education consultant for over 25 years, Jennie has represented hundreds of families and attended over a thousand IEP meetings. She empowers Teams to focus unwaveringly on the actual and intended “I’s” in IEP – Individual and Inclusion. She offers expertise and training in navigating the culture, process, and the functional application of special education for all audiences. She is actively engaged with national and state policy development, including service as a member of COPAA’s Government Relations and Social & Racial Equity Committees, a family representative on the Massachusetts Special Education Advisory Panel, and as a core stakeholder in Massachusetts's IEP Improvement Project. A 14-year Board Member on the Special Needs Advocacy Network (SPaN), she founded the School Fair, Same Side of the Table forum, and co-founded the Family Grant and IEP Clinic programs. In 2012, Jennie designed and coordinated the implementation of a transition program for high-cognitive, post-12th-grade students with executive functioning and social communication challenges at the Ivy Street School.

Jennie's latest work, Collaborative Curiosity and the Unstuck Protocol, represents the culmination of insights gathered in her years as a special education consultant and from her prior career in crisis management, marketing, and communications. This reimagined practice is being delivered in multiple venues to advocacy, related-service, and parent groups, and as PD for school staff.

Most importantly, she is a Special Education Surrogate and a fiercely proud parent of a young adult on the autism spectrum, her co-presenter in Collaborative Curiosity, Sam DunKley
