Advocacy & IEP Consultation

Empowering Parents to Advocate for Their Child’s Educational Success

Navigating the special education system and understanding an Individualized Education Program (IEP) can be overwhelming. As a special education professional with extensive experience in writing high impact IEP’s, I offer one-on-one consultations to help parents understand their child’s IEP, identify areas for improvement, and advocate for meaningful changes to better support their child's needs.

How I Can Help

✔ IEP Review & Analysis – I will carefully review your child’s IEP, ensuring that goals, accommodations, and services are aligned with their unique learning profile.
✔ Personalized Recommendations – Together, we will identify gaps, areas for improvement, and strategies to better tailor the IEP to your child’s strengths and challenges.
✔ Understanding Your Rights – I will help you understand special education laws and how to effectively communicate with school teams to advocate for appropriate support.
✔ Strengthening IEP Goals – We will ensure that academic, social, and behavioral goals are measurable, meaningful, and designed to promote real progress.
✔ Clarifying Accommodations & Modifications – I will guide you in determining whether the supports and accommodations listed in the IEP are effective and, if not, how they can be adjusted.
✔ Preparing for IEP Meetings – I will help you develop a plan and clear talking points to confidently approach IEP meetings and collaborate effectively with the school team.

Who This Service Is For

This service is designed for families who:
✔ Need help understanding and interpreting their child's IEP.

✔ Want to ensure their child is receiving appropriate literacy, academic, or behavioral interventions.
