ABOUT US
Collaborative Learning Solutions (CLS) was originally established in December 2010 by Dr. Jon Eyler with the primary goal of changing the life outcomes of youth experiencing emotional and/or behavioral disorders. As a public school educator, Dr. Eyler was discouraged by the lack of programming options for students who did not ‘fit the mold’ for public education and who were either disciplined at disproportionate rates and/or removed from public schools and forced into alternative educational settings. During the inception of CLS, Dr. Eyler coached school districts to implement cognitive-based intervention strategies and to develop Social, Emotional, and Behavioral Programming to allow students to remain in the least restrictive environment. CLS now provides a full cadre of services within the climate and culture space to make a positive impact on the lives of students.
