Professional Development
& Consultations
Professional development for schools and teachers, focuses on strategies for teaching students with diverse needs. ESNJ's training programs equip educators with the tools and techniques necessary to effectively support and engage all learners.
Educational consultation services offer tailored guidance and support to students, parents, and institutions, helping them make informed decisions regarding academic goals, career pathways, and educational strategies. These services leverage expert knowledge and insights to empower individuals and organizations in navigating the complex landscape of education.
Educational Evaluations
Learning Consultants assess students suspected of having learning disabilities through various tools and assessments. They gather information about a student's academic performance, behavior, and other relevant factors to determine whether a learning disability is present.
Educational assessment refers to the systematic collection and analysis of information to measure a student's knowledge, skills, abilities, or other relevant attributes, often used for the purpose of informing instruction and gauging educational progress.
Program Recommendations
Every student’s learning profile is unique. Program recommendations are designed to identify the specific instructional, environmental, and support needs a student requires in order to access the curriculum and make meaningful educational progress. Based on comprehensive evaluation data, classroom performance, and documented response to intervention, recommendations focus on what supports are necessary, not simply on labels or placements.
The goal of program recommendations is to support informed educational decision-making.
-
What the student needs to learn effectively
-
Which supports are educationally necessary
-
How instruction and services can be aligned to the student’s profile
-
How progress should be monitored over time
These recommendations are intended to be practical, data-driven, and educationally grounded, supporting collaboration among families, educators, and Child Study Teams.

What's Being Said
Michael has been an incredible advocate for our child with multiple disabilities and behavior challenges. He is extremely responsive and empathetic and very knowledgeable about the IEP process about ETR‘s and IDEA. His rates are affordable. Often school teams may have incorrect or limited information on the application of the laws and Michael has been very well informed in this aspect. Micheal has worked with my son, husband, myself and our IEP team of school administration staff, School contractors, Gen Ed and special ed teachers. We continue to depend on Michael Hanly as our child advances within the public school district. He is a consummate professional and a wonderful advocate for a child.
I would like to start by saying if you are reading this….just do it…you are about to make the best decision ever by hiring Mike. I promise it will be the best choice you ever made.. Being a mom of 3 and all of them having IEP’s it’s scary, hard, and very emotional .. Mike has truly been an angel in disguise and made me and my girls feel so much better about everything. He truly loves the kids and helps you and them understand what’s best for them . He is so knowledgeable about all the different sources out there to help the kids and what they do and don’t need. I have worked with him for years and I promise you he will make your life so much better by just having him guide you in the right direction. I trust him more than anyone when it comes to my kids education .. I promise you it will be the best decision emotionally, academically, and the way he makes the kids feel confident in themselves is unexplainable :)❤️
Michael from Education Specialist of New Jersey provided exceptional support and advocacy for our child's education. His thorough review of documents, guidance through mediation, and active participation in meetings resulted in obtaining more services for our child. Based on our positive experience, we recommend their services highly and plan to continue working with them for future meetings with the school district.
Mr. Hanly is truly incredible to work with. He’s extremely honest, kind, and empathetic. Without hesitation I would recommended him!! My daughter has an incredible advocate by her side. He’s extremely knowledgeable. He’s provided me with such ease given I have no experience what to expect now that my daughter has been diagnosed. We are so lucky to have Mr. Hanly walk us through this process.
