I created this course because I’ve lived it.
Years ago, I walked into my son’s first IEP meeting overwhelmed, unsure what to ask, and left in tears—more than once. At the same time, I was sitting through IEP meetings every day as a licensed SLP.
This masterclass is everything I wish I’d had:
-
Real talk, not just legal jargon
-
Tools that actually work in meetings
-
Strategies I’ve used for my own child—and hundreds of parents just like you
​
You already know your child better than anyone. I’ll help you speak the school’s language and advocate with confidence.
