You do not need to know everything to advocate for your child. You just need to be heard and supported. I help parents walk into IEP meetings with clarity and confidence.

Taking this 4th of July weekend to rest and appreciate what I have and who I’m with. Rest isn’t a luxury. It’s part of showing up fully—at home and in advocacy.

Jeffrey Lurie just donated $50M to launch the Lurie Autism Institute with CHOP & Penn Medicine. A major step forward in autism research and care. While they lead globally, I’m here to help locally—one IEP at a time.

Tired of waiting for help from the school? You don’t need to sit through years of SST meetings. All it takes is a simple written request asking the school to assess your child. They only have 15 days to respond!

January IEP meetings come fast after the holidays.
Take 10 minutes  to jot down:
• What worked this fall
• What didn’t
• New concerns or strengths
Small steps now create smoother meetings next month.

Sometimes things get said in an IEP meeting that we disagree with, or we know are inaccurate. We've all been there, so here are some top tips on ways to respond. They say...and you say...let's go!

As a teacher, I used to fear reaching out to parents. I was afraid asking for help made me look weak. But real progress happens when parents and teachers work together. I help build that bridge.

If the school says “we’ve already decided” before you speak, that is a red flag. You are an equal member of the IEP team. Your input must shape the plan, not just respond to it.

If a school says they cannot provide services because of staffing, that is a red flag. Your child’s right to support does not depend on convenience. I can help you respond.

If the school says your child’s IEP was written by a system or pulled from a template, that is a red flag. IEPs must be individualized. Your child is not a preset.

If your IEP meeting felt one-sided or rushed, that is a red flag. You should be part of the decision-making. If something feels off, I can help you speak up and get clarity.

Happy 4th of July. Today we celebrate freedom, and for families in special education, that means the right to advocate for what your child truly needs. That is a freedom worth fighting for.
