What is Educational & IEP Consulting?

As a parent, you want the best for your child. However, learning differences can sometimes leave you feeling worried and unsure about where to find the right resources to help them.

Educational and IEP consulting allows you to learn from our team, who have extensive experience working within public schools and with students with learning differences. Whether we meet virtually or in person, we can help you chart a path to understand the assessments and interventions available so you can successfully advocate for your child.

Navigating the school system can be extremely challenging. Thankfully, our team has decades of experience within the school system and can provide support.

Our goal is to empower you with knowledge so you have fewer worries.

We want you to feel confident that you can help your child get the support they need. 

If you need additional support and want an advocate or attorney to attend IEP meetings with you, we will provide referrals for you.

A Sample of Topics We Support:

  • What to do if your child’s teacher says they need extra support.

  • How to read your child’s IEP and understand assessment reports.

  • How to understand goals and support services.

  • Know what options may be available for your child through their IEP.

  • Empower you with knowledge so you feel equipped and prepared to collaborate with your school team in an IEP meeting.

  • What you can do if you don’t agree with your child’s IEP or don’t feel that school personnel are following it correctly.

  • How a 504 Plan and IEP are different.

  • The typical sequence of meetings you can expect.

Understand Assessments

We help you understand the assessments the school has done or will do and decide whether additional assessments would be helpful.
