Your journey to effective educational support starts here. In this brief call, we'll cut through the confusion to see if my personalized strategy is the right fit for your family.

  • Intake Form Review: We will quickly review the information you provided in your intake form so we can maximize our time together.

  • Need Clarification: A brief opportunity to tell me your child's core challenges and your primary goal for their educational plan.

  • Fit Assessment: We'll determine if the IEP Strategy Consultation (step 2) is the best fit for your specific situation.

  • Next Steps: You will leave the call with a clear understanding of your next steps, whether that is with me or another resource.

STEP 2: IEP STRATEGY CONSULTATION

To be effective, I need to know your child's case inside and out. My initial IEP Strategy Consultation Package handles that. The investment for that foundational clarity and confidence allows us to move forward strategically, not guess-and-check.

  • Detailed file review ( Value $1,200) : Stop guessing! We'll immediately review every single document in your child's file (IEP, 504 Plan, evaluations, etc.). We're looking for critical gaps and missing support that are slowing down your child's progress. We translate the confusing "school language" into clear, actionable steps. You will truly understand what the school is offering, what is urgently missing, and exactly what must be put in place to ensure your child can fully access and succeed in their education. You'll replace anxiety with confident clarity. This investment prevents years of wasted time and ineffective services, saving you thousands in potential private costs down the line.

  • Intake and Consult (Value $350): Let's not waste another moment! This is a dedicated, 60-minute virtual deep-dive where your concerns are the only priority. We'll carefully review the key records together and lay out a clear, step-by-step path forward. You'll walk away knowing what to do and, critically, how to confidently communicate with the school team to make sure they listen and take action for your child. You'll feel heard, supported, and ready to move forward.

  • Next Steps (Value $500): No time for confusion! You need a simple, reliable plan to implement immediately. you will receive a customized, easy-to-read summary of our discussion, detailing exactly how to get your child the support and services they need. This isn't just theory—it's a clear, prioritized checklist of actions and talking points. You'll have an unbeatable roadmap for the weeks ahead, ensuring your child's needs are met without delay. We eliminate the "what now?" by providing a written, prioritized list of exactly what you need to say and do, so that no crucial step is missed and supports are implemented fast.
