You're here for one reason.
Your neurodivergent child is struggling in school and at home. This means you and your family are struggling too.
​
Their needs are complex. They ebb and flow between chronic and crisis issues, impacting ongoing daily life for each of you.
​​
You may be overwhelmed, confused, worried, and unsure how to help them so they begin to realize success in school.
​​​
You may be questioning your ability to navigate your child's needs & special education, both requiring enormous effort, energy, and focus. ​
There is another way. You'll spend less time on defense and more on offense, understanding what you need to know & how to move ahead.

From Chaos To Clarity©
Initial 90-minute
Triage Consultation
You'll tell me about your child.
Your issues and concerns about school. What's working/what's not. What last year, this year, or the next school year may bring. Where you feel changes are needed. We'll delve into it all.
​
This discussion is an opportunity for you to share what's happening and relieve some of your pressure, providing the framework to understand your child before the comprehensive review of their educational file.
You'll provide your child's current district-conducted Evaluation Report,
IEP or 504, relevant private evaluations, and any other recent documents that will provide a complete picture of your child in school.
​
The Masterclass that follows integrates file review findings, concerns, and recommendations with essential information you need to know to navigate special education and your child's individual needs in school.
Comprehensive Educational Document Review
Novice or experienced parent, this masterclass is for two...both parents or one parent/partner/supportive family member. Effective advocacy requires a team approach even when one parent often takes the lead.
​
This individualized masterclass aligns and targets your child's individual needs with broader learning needed. You often don't know what you need to know. In this specialized Masterclass, we'll be changing this.
Individualized, 2-hour
Special Education Masterclass
5-Step Roadmap
Immediate, Short & Long Term
After reviewing your child's educational file and completing the masterclass, we'll create a roadmap to help you determine steps needed today and tomorrow while beginning to plan for what's ahead.
​
This tool will be a framework to help guide your steps, recognizing that as your child continues to grow, changes to their services, supports, and even placement may be needed to ensure their needs are being fully supported.
The information discussed during the masterclass and your child's file review is extensive, often resulting in additional questions where a recap Q&A discussion will help you feel ready to move forward with school.
​
We'll schedule a 60-minute consultation within two weeks of the masterclass/file review to address and discuss whatever issues or concerns remain as you begin to take the lead in your advocacy efforts.

Introductory Consultation
During this initial 75-minute consultation, you'll share a bit about your child, what's happening in school, and to determine if From Chaos To Clarity©, The Deep Dive, or Your Journey advising/coaching support will best help you. This conversation will be the first step to changing and improving things for your child in school moving forward.
Coaching/Advising
​​​​​​
The Deep Dive...
​​
Starting with a comprehensive review of your child's key educational documents - e.g. Evaluation Reports, IEP, and a discussion that follows, our focus then moves to preparing you to navigate your next IEP meeting with new information, strategies, and clarity. We'll plan and prepare your IEP meeting agenda after which a post-meeting consultation will occur to discuss outcomes and next steps.
​​​​​
Your Journey...
I'll be your dedicated coach, advisor, guide and partner. As chronic, crisis or new issues arise. As school issues develop or intensify. When you feel as though you're not being heard or conflicts develop. Situations and needs change as your child does. You're not alone on this journey. Monthly retainer (2 month minimum) with on-call access & availability...virtually, telephone, and/or e-mail.
​​​​
Services include "S.W.I.T. Analysis" & IEP Agenda parent tools.
