Strategic Consulting

Explore Dr. Zach Murphy’s Consulting Services And Request A Consultation To Discuss Your Goals And Next Steps

I work with school leaders and organizations who are serious about building genuinely inclusive systems — not just checking a compliance box.

The Difference

Real Experience. Real Results.

I bring the perspective of someone who has led this work from the ground up — from initial vision to operational reality. I’ve built and refined the accreditation structure, academic model, staffing framework, and family culture — for real students, in a real state, with real constraints.

That’s different from a consultant who has only studied inclusive schools. I’ve led one. And I know the difference between what looks good in a framework and what actually works in the building.

Consulting engagements are limited and curated. I take on work where I can genuinely move the needle.

Who I Work With

The Right Fit

I work best with leaders who are ready to do something different — not just talk about it. If you’re looking for someone to validate what you’re already doing, I’m probably not your guy. If you’re ready to ask hard questions and build something real, let’s talk.

  • Independent school leaders and administrators
  • District special education administrators
  • Nonprofit education organizations
  • School boards navigating neurodiversity strategy
  • Leaders who know something has to change and aren't sure where to start
  • Organizations building new school models for neurodiverse populations
