🏫 IEP & School Collaboration Support

Family Advocacy & School Collaboration

Empowerment. Clarity. Partnership.

When a child is struggling in school, families are often left trying to decipher systems that feel overwhelming, bureaucratic, and impersonal. Whether you're preparing for an IEP, 504 Plan, eligibility review, or school team meeting—I help you show up informed, empowered, and heard.

As a Licensed Educational Psychologist, former classroom teacher, and parent of a neurodivergent child, I bring both professional expertise and lived empathy to this work. I know the emotional weight these meetings carry. I also know how to help teams move forward with clarity, compassion, and actionable plans that support your child’s real-world needs.

🌿 Who I Support:

• Parents preparing for IEP or 504 Plan meetings

• Families struggling to access services or accommodations

• Caregivers unsure how to navigate school systems or advocate for their child

• Children and teens whose needs are misunderstood or unmet

• Educators seeking outside consultation on behavior, regulation, or support planning

🌿 What Advocacy Can Include:

• IEP/504 meeting preparation, attendance, and follow-up

• Review and interpretation of school evaluations or reports

• Input on goals, accommodations, and behavior support plans

• Coaching families on how to advocate assertively—but collaboratively

• Consultation with school teams and private providers

• Support during transitions, reevaluations, or program placement reviews

🌿 What Makes This Different:

Most advocates understand the system. I understand your child—as a psychologist, a teacher, and a parent.

I focus on:

• Strengths-based language that helps school teams listen

• Evidence-informed recommendations that actually work

• Emotional support for families who feel dismissed or unheard

• Collaboration with schools that balances assertiveness and trust

• The long game—supporting your child’s growth, identity, and dignity
