During our consulting appointments, your family receives personalized, actionable advice to work toward success for your child. We start by completing a thorough questionnaire and reviewing any relevant records from their school.
After our assessment, we will meet with you to discuss tailored recommendations, such as amending IEPs or 504 plans, creating effective communication strategies between your student and their teachers or administrators, and referring you to additional outside services when necessary. Because every individual is different, we are dedicated to providing a customized solution designed specifically to promote the best possible educational outcomes. (Educational Consultation appointments are $150 per hour).

Our advocacy services build directly upon the foundation of our educational consulting. We act as a trusted partner and strong presence for your family at IEP or 504 meetings so you never feel lost in the process.
Our preparation for these meetings is highly collaborative. We work closely with any private providers involved, conduct classroom observations (with permission), and interview your child to ensure their voice is heard during important school discussions. We also provide ongoing follow-up and monitoring to ensure that the agreed-upon IEP or 504 plan is being implemented correctly by the school. (Educational Advocacy services are $250 per hour).

We understand that taking the first step can feel overwhelming. To ensure we are the right fit for your family’s specific needs, we offer a free 15-minute phone consultation. During this brief call, you can provide us with some basic information about the challenges you are facing, and we will guide you toward the best assessment and support plan for your child.
