Empowering Parents, Supporting Children
Our goal is simple: to empower you with the knowledge and tools you need to be your child's most effective advocate. From learning the language of special education to connecting the dots between evaluations and everyday support, we're with you throughout your journey.
Special Education 101
New to special education? You're not alone. The world of IEPs, 504s, and educational evaluations comes with its own language, acronyms, and processes that can feel overwhelming at first.
We'll help you build a solid foundation by breaking down the basics in clear, accessible terms. You'll learn what common acronyms actually mean, understand the key differences between IEPs and 504 plans, and discover when an evaluation might be right for your child. We'll walk you through special education timelines so you know what to expect and when, and demystify the paperwork that comes your way.
Think of this as your orientation to special education—giving you the essential knowledge and vocabulary you need to move forward with confidence.
Evaluation Support: Understanding Your Child's Plan
You've received an evaluation report or IEP document—now what? These detailed reports are filled with technical language, test scores, and recommendations that aren't always easy to interpret.
We provide thorough review and feedback on IEPs and evaluations, helping you understand what the results actually mean for your child. We'll break down test scores into practical insights, explain what specific accommodations could look like in the classroom, and clarify your important role as a member of the IEP team. With our support, you'll walk into meetings prepared, informed, and ready to contribute meaningfully to your child's educational plan.
Beyond the Classroom: Making It All Work at Home
An evaluation can provide valuable insights about your child, but translating those recommendations into action—both at school and at home—isn't always straightforward.
We help you bridge the gap between evaluation findings and real-world support beyond the school day.
We provide guidance on creating supportive home environments tailored to your neurodiverse child's unique needs, helping you implement strategies that make daily life smoother and more successful for the whole family.
