Marc Purchin’s goals, education, experience, achievement, reputation and vision combined
to prompt the establishment of Purchin Consulting in 1997.
Beginning some two decades before that, Marc has personally conducted more than 3,000
mediations, mostly through contracts with the California Special Education Hearing Office, the
Department of Developmental Disabilities, several public school districts and numerous nonprofit
organizations. In addition to that work, he has developed Alternative Dispute Resolution
(ADR) programs for Special Education Local Plan Areas (SELPA) throughout the state of
California.
