Hi! Welcome! First, take a deep breath. I know that you’re feeling anxious, concerned and exhausted by the thought of supporting your special education students this school year. This business has been in my heart for several years, and I’m so excited to share it with you soon. There are 7.1 million children on IEPs in the United States, which means that there are so many parents, teachers, instructional assistants, doctors, therapists, disability organizations, and community support organizations that need information on special education law, advocacy, and best practices. Whether you’re looking for basic special education advocacy training videos or really detailed information on a specific disability or best practice, you’ll find it here! I’m even working hard on a specific course to help you through the unknowns of the 2020-2021 school year! It’s going to be good, so have a seat, pour a cup of coffee, and know that I’ve got this. It’ll be ready soon!!!

My dad, our beloved Kurtie, often prays, “God, give me patience, and give it to me NOW!” If you’re a parent in special education, you can relate to this, and you may have whispered, “God, give me resources, and give them to me NOW!”
One of the things I use most often in my advocacy is the United States Department of education’s policy documents.

I see this trend at IEP meetings…. Teams start discussion topics like inclusion or strategies like reading interventions, and they keep getting stuck.

I had my first IEP meeting of the school year last week, and when my client told me it was the first one that didn’t make her cry in years, it hit me.
