Regulation Consultant

Position Summary:

Lake Orion Community Schools is seeking a Regulation Consultant to support the development of inclusive, regulation-responsive systems and practices across the district. This role partners with school teams to address complex student needs, build staff capacity, and design environments that promote student regulation, independence, and access.

This position blends behavior analysis expertise with systems leadership and instructional coaching, supporting both individual student problem-solving and district-wide practices.

• Provide consultation to teams supporting students with significant or persistent dysregulation, including facilitating FBA-informed problem solving and guiding development of behavior intervention and regulation-focused plans
• Participate in IEP, MET, and problem-solving meetings as a consultant, building team capacity rather than serving as a primary direct service provider
• Deliver job-embedded coaching to teachers, paraprofessionals, and teams; model co-regulation, de-escalation, proactive supports, and inclusive practices aligned to LRE and student independence
• Support teams in aligning adult support with student needs, including planning for independence and fade of support
• Design and facilitate professional learning on brain-based behavior, trauma-informed and prevention-focused practices, and classroom regulation strategies, and support implementation into daily practice
