About Us

Welcome to Beacon Education Consulting! My name is Sarah Whitehead and I am a dedicated education consultant specializing in special education advocacy and IEP support. With a passion for empowering families, I help parents navigate the often-complex IEP process to ensure their children with special needs receive the quality education they deserve.

I hold an undergraduate degree in Behavioral Health Science with an emphasis in Family Dynamics, which has provided me with a strong foundation in understanding the intricacies of family interactions and support systems. Currently, I am pursuing a Juris Doctorate with a focus in special education, equipping me with the legal knowledge necessary to advocate effectively for your child’s rights. With over 10 years of advocacy work, I have developed a deep understanding of the challenges families face and am committed to helping them secure appropriate educational resources.

Having witnessed firsthand the challenges that families face in securing appropriate educational resources, I became committed to advocating for parent and child rights within the special education system. My expertise includes supporting children with dyslexia, ADHD, and other reading difficulties. I believe that every child has the right to thrive academically and socially and I am here to help you advocate for those rights.

I have a deep understanding of the educational landscape in Sacramento, CA, and I am well-versed in local resources available to support families. My approach is personalized and compassionate, ensuring that each family feels heard and empowered throughout their journey. Whether you’re seeking assistance with IEP development, ongoing support, or transition planning, I am here to guide you every step of the way.

At Beacon Education Consulting, my mission is to be a guiding light for families, helping you navigate the IEP maze with confidence and clarity. Together, we can work towards your child’s educational success and well-being.

Thank you for considering me as your partner in this important journey. I look forward to working with you!
