Goal Setting
The MAAPS coach and the student support team connect virtually to determine areas of student need in order to create a plan using the MAAPS module framework.

Individualization
The student’s teacher collaborates with a MAAPS coach to identify what modules are most needed and establish a timeline for implementation, training, and progress monitoring.
Stage 4 —
Implementation
The student’s unique MAAPS plan is implemented by the team with active coaching by the MAAPS staff. Regular virtual meetings help the team to fine tune the plan. Ongoing team meetings are also held to discuss the student’s progress and needs.
