During this phase, we conduct a detailed review of your child’s current academic performance, existing IEP (if applicable), and other relevant documents. We explore your child’s strengths, areas of need, and the support they require to thrive in the educational setting.

3. Strategy Development

Based on our case review, a customized advocacy strategy tailored to your child’s specific educational challenges is crafted. This includes identifying key goals, potential accommodations, and the services necessary to ensure your child’s academic and social success.

FAQs

What is the cost of a consultation?

We believe every family deserves access to guidance and support when navigating the IEP process. That’s why we offer a complimentary initial consultation to discuss your child’s unique needs and explore how we can assist you in advocating for the best possible educational plan. This meeting allows us to ensure we’re a good fit and gives you a clear path forward without any upfront cost.

What role do clients play in the process?

Clients play an essential role in the IEP advocacy process. As the parent, you are the expert on your child, and your input is crucial at every step. Throughout the journey, you’ll collaborate with me to share insights about your child’s strengths, challenges, and educational goals. Together, we’ll discuss strategies, set clear objectives, and make informed decisions that shape the IEP. Your active participation ensures that the advocacy reflects your child’s best interests, and we are here to guide and support you every step of the way.

How long does the IEP process typically take?

The IEP process timeline can vary depending on your child’s needs and the specific school district. Typically, from the initial request for evaluation to the development and implementation of the IEP, the process takes about 60 days. However, additional factors, such as school holidays or the complexity of your child’s situation, may affect this timeframe. We will be with you throughout the process, ensuring timelines are met and that your child’s plan is developed efficiently and thoroughly.

What should I prepare for the first meeting?

For the first meeting, it’s helpful to email any relevant documentation, such as your child’s current IEP (if applicable), recent evaluations or assessments, progress reports, and any communication from the school regarding your child’s performance or behavior. Additionally, bringing notes about your child’s strengths, challenges, and any specific concerns or goals you have for their education will help us create a comprehensive advocacy plan from the start.
