TELL ME IF THIS SOUNDS LIKE YOU...

Your child is struggling and it feels like the school isn't doing anything about it.

All you extra time and money is going to tutoring or therapies for your child.

You suspect something is going on with your child's learning and an evaluation would help you to figure out what it is.

Your child has a diagnosis, but is not receiving any services or accommodations.

You feel like your child needs an Individualized Education Program (IEP), but you're not sure how to get one.

Good News!

I help families get special services for their children every single day.

And if you're like any of them, you've probably had some of the same myths and misconceptions about the process.

Myths Like...

Myth #1: A child can't be evaluated until data has been collected for 12 weeks

Reality: Data collection and formal evaluation can occur simultaneously - you don't have to wait the intervention to end to do an evaluation

Myth #2: My child has a diagnosis so they automatically qualify for an IEP

Reality: School special education eligibility and a diagnosis from a private provider aren't the same thing. You still need to do the eligibility process even if your child has a diagnosis.

Myth #3: Parents have to just wait and see what the school decides about getting an IEP

Reality: You are an integral part of your child's school team. You can provide information to help the school understand the help your child needs.

IMAGINE...

There was a way to get an IEP in just a few weeks or months...
You knew how to get the special education eligibility process moving quickly...
You had evenings and weekends free to relax because your child was receiving appropriate services at school...
You could re-allocate your tutoring funds to a family vacation...
Your child was receiving the appropriate school services... and flourishing!

All of that is possible inside the How to Get an IEP Course
