How I can help...
How I Support Families Through the IEP Process
You’re here because the IEP process can bring up many feelings when thinking about your child's IEP.
The most challening being: frustration, confusion, or overwhelm at times. I understand that both sides can work very hard, and still struggle due to the various difficulties found in Special Education. Let's be a team!
Bringing Clarity and Collaboration to the IEP Process
With years of experience in special education and IEP development, I help parents feel informed about the entire IEP process. We can work through confusing jargon, service needs, and goals that fit your child.
My goal is to create a supportive partnership between families and schools so that every child’s IEP reflects their strengths, needs, and potential.
Making IEP Meetings More Productive
IEP meetings should feel like a team effort, where everyone is working together to support your child. I help parents approach these meetings with clarity and confidence, ensuring that conversations stay focused, positive, and solutions-oriented.
Tutoring That Supports IEP Goals
Beyond coaching, I offer personalized online tutoring designed to help students make meaningful progress toward their IEP goals. I use an engaging online platform that makes your child look forward to spending time with me on their computer while working on their IEP goals.
My approach is strengths-based, helping kids build their skills in a way that works for them. With a decade of educational experience, I know how to make learning fun!
Every Child Deserves a Plan That Works
An effective IEP should feel supportive and actionable. I will make the process clearer and more collaborative so that your child gets the education and resources they need to thrive. Let’s work together to make that happen!
