You've landed here because you've checked all the necessary boxes:
Psycho-educational assessment
Diagnosis
School required labels acquired
And you're ready for step-by-step guidance on what to do next.
Does this mean your child automatically gets an IEP?
Unfortunately, no.
Does this mean your child is legally entitled to an IEP?
Absolutely, YES.
Your child spends over 30 hours a week at school, ~1300 hours per year.
My strategic approach ensures your child's time spent in school is used to shape a successful future, year after year. Know exactly what to ask for & how to ask so you can see results quick!
When an IEP helps your child thrive, you'll see results in...
Learning
Meaningful accommodations allow your child to develop a positive relationship with learning & school.
Connections
A healthy connection to school allows your child to come home fulfilled, equipped to face challenges, and provides the landscape for an encouraged connection to their peers, family, and teachers.
Mental Health
Your child is more relaxed, happy, and engaged. They're able to manage anxieties with healthy strategies and targeted supports.
Life Success
Foundational needs are not only being met, but nourished for long term success.
School success goes far beyond the existence of an IEP document.
It critically depends on active cooperation and collaboration of all stakeholders: teachers, educational assistants, learning support team, school admin, psychologist, physicians, therapists, caregivers, YOU, AND most importantly, your child.
Why this matters
I've been where you and your child are.
My passion for Special Education Advocacy started in university when I was denied very necessary accommodations. Together with my parents, our advocacy got me the exact accommodations I needed to succeed AND continue my studies into grad school.
As I entered the teaching world, I quickly found myself on learning support teams, and leading a department toward inclusivity centred on individualized student needs and intentional implementation strategies.
Fast forward into motherhood and I was sitting on the other side, advocacting for my child as the system desperately tried to dismiss her needs.
Not only did I get her what she needed, I also became the point person for friends when they felt lost or dismissed on their child's IEP journey.
Through every special education story, the same winning message always prevails: Strategic advocacy, collaboration, and cooperation is exactly what’s needed to turn struggles into successes.
