Inclusion needs
a system.
We built one.
The Inclusive Practice builds tools and consulting services for K-12 teams who take inclusion seriously and need the infrastructure to sustain it.
Three principles behind every tool we build and every engagement we take.
The invisible work of student services has always existed. The problem is it has never been counted.
Inclusion is not what you believe. It is what your data shows, what your team sustains, and what your students experience every day.
When every adult in the building speaks the same language, every student has a place to land.
Two tools. One school.
PULSE and the Inclusive Learning Library are built to work in the same building, for the same students, toward the same goal. One measures and sustains the system. One gives practitioners the shared language to do the daily work.
PULSE
Organizational Health OS for Student Services
Special education teams are working beyond their contracted capacity — and most districts have no data to prove it. PULSE calculates the true cost of service delivery against real contract terms, so student services leaders can make staffing and program decisions based on evidence, not intuition.
- True workload analysis against CBA terms
- Sustainability bands for every provider
- 8 provider roles: SLP, OT, PT, BCBA, Psych, Special Education Teacher, Social Work, Team Chair
- Director-ready data for IEP and budget conversations
Inclusive Learning Library
A Social Language Framework for K–12
The Trust Framework gives every adult in the building a shared language for social connection, embedded in the books students are already reading. No new curriculum. No separate program. Just the social-emotional foundation that makes inclusion possible, from kindergarten through graduation.
- Trust Framework: 1D, 2D, 3D dimensions of trust
- Grades 3–4, 5–8, 9–12, and Belonging Series (K–4)
- Aligned for SLP, OT, BCBA, counselor, and teacher
- Indirect service minutes logged automatically
Built for the same building.
Used by the whole team.
A superintendent and an SLP are both here for the same reason: their school isn’t as inclusive as it could be, and the tools they have aren’t built for the complexity of what they do.
PULSE answers the question leadership is always asking: can we sustain this? The Inclusive Learning Library answers the question practitioners are always asking: how do we teach this in a way that actually generalizes?
Together, they give districts the full picture — the organizational health of the system and the instructional language that runs through it.
Data integration between PULSE and the Inclusive Learning Library is currently rolling out.

When tools aren’t enough,

Built by practitioners who spent their careers in K–12 special education — not observers of the problem, but people who lived it.
Rebecca Cann
M.A., CCC-SLP · Clinical Director
Speech-language pathologist and AAC specialist, Rebecca is the clinical mind behind every framework The Inclusive Practice builds. She designed the Inclusive Learning Library, co-developed the Trust Framework — now published as The Dimensions of Trust — and serves as clinical architect for PULSE's prescription engine. Rebecca's career has been spent inside school buildings, making the invisible labor of inclusion visible, measurable, and defensible. She brings the clinical precision that makes our work evidence-based and the human depth that makes it worth doing.
Eric Oxford
Ed.D. · Managing Partner
Organizational designer and the architect behind PULSE. Eric built his career inside student services — as a practitioner, director, and program builder — and created PULSE because he watched districts fail their students not from lack of care, but from lack of the right tools. He translates clinical expertise into data infrastructure, platform products, and the systems frameworks that help districts build inclusive programs they can actually sustain. He leads district-level consulting engagements focused on student services leadership, program design, and organizational health.
