Initial Triage Consultation
Your questions need answers, often immediately either because of a crisis situation or chronic situations with your child in school, impacting your household, family, and lives.
Neurodivergent children are complex and so are their needs in school, requiring your time and attention to navigate the issues and demands.
An initial, 75-minute triage consultation will provide recommendations to help you address the issues. Maybe it's a recent evaluation report, increasing calls or e-mails from school, or behavioral issues emerging. No matter the situation, we'll discuss it and at the end of our consultation, you will have immediate recommendations and steps to move forward.
​
Remember...special education goes beyond academics to include, address, and support social, behavioral, functional, and developmental skills as well. Let's determine what steps you can take now.
​
You'll save time. You'll be prepared for your next discussion or school meeting. And a bit of clarity will replace the confusion and chaos

I will meet you precisely where you are.
​
I will respond to your immediate needs with actionable steps.
​
I will ensure you have options for how to address or respond to pressing school issues or prepare for what comes next.

​
Special Education Comprehensive
​
This comprehensive begins with a review of your child's educational documents -- school district Evaluation Reports, IEPs, recent independent evaluations, IEP progress reports, and any other current documents.
​
Next, we will schedule a two-hour consultation to discuss these documents in detail including evaluation report data, why your child's IEP goals may not be appropriate, the benefit of securing independent evaluations and when they may be needed, plan for your upcoming or next IEP meeting, discuss transition planning, and more.
​
After this consultation, a written recap of findings and recommendations will be provided for your reference and future use.
​
How this comprehensive will help you:
​
-
You'll learn how to decipher evaluation report data and why it matters
-
You'll understand how to correlate evaluation report data to the IEP
-
You'll know how to document issues and make changes to your child's educational program and plan
-
You'll reduce the time you're spending on navigating school issues
​
Working parents spend an average of 10-15 hours/week addressing their children's school needs, impacting jobs, families, and mental health.
​
This comprehensive will provide you with clarity, answers, steps, and the ability to collaborate with school in discussions and meetings with competence moving forward.
​
My Promise:
​
I will meet you precisely where you are.
I will explain, review, and provide detailed information to help you understand these educational documents.
​
I will listen, ask many questions, and show you what's appropriate, what's not, and where changes are needed.
​
I will ensure you have the clarity you need to more effectively advocate for your child's needs in school today and moving forward.
Coaching
What do to. How to do it. When to do it. Who to speak with. All issues that factor into your ongoing parent advocacy efforts for your child in school.
Coaching and individualized support will help you prioritize the issues, evaluate options, and ensure your concerns and questions as you engage with school are heard so you receive the information and answers you need.
Calls from school. Last-minute IEP meetings. Behavioral issues. Removal from the classroom or school. Social issues. School refusal or avoidance. Challenges with work completion. Grades plummeting. The issues are individualized to your child and so must be the solutions.
Creating a strategy, using business skills and tactics, and taking control over navigating school and special education while reducing the time and effort you're spending trying to figure out what to do.
Your child will continue to grow and change as they move through their school years and the issues and needs may as well. Coaching will provide you with the guidance and answers you need, reducing your concerns and uncertainty and empowering you as your child's parent advocate.
My Promise:
I will meet you precisely where you are.
I will listen, ask questions, offer recommendations, and help you evaluate your options, choices, and steps.
I will share insights from my own experiences to shed light on solutions that may not have been considered thus far.
I will offer advise from a place of experience and knowledge to help you navigate the complexities of your child's life today - and your own - to create new and more productive ways to move forward.
