Wizdom Education is a Division of Wizdom Systems, a Naperville, Illinois based company that has been providing government and corporate clients with business process reengineering, instructional design, training and services since 1986.

How We Began
We started our work in Special Education in 1999 after we won a grant from the US Department of Education. They asked us to apply the experience we gained in automating private industry and Government, and fix the transition process - make it more efficient. We achieved our goal!

Our research showed that despite all the good intentions, the transition process itself is broken. Parents, students and educators are not getting the results they expect, and the costs are too high. Consider for example, that the overhead cost of SE is 3 times that of Regular Education. Clearly, outcomes would be better if the money were spent on the children, not on the system.

The US Education Department agreed with our conclusion that the process is broken. They asked us to apply the experience we gained in automating private industry and Government to fix the transition process - make it more effective and more efficient. We achieved our goal!

Our initial installations show that we can take 25% of the cost out of administration. The challenge we now have is not technology, it is getting the word out.
