Special Education Advocacy Packages

Tier 1

Ask Me Anything Call

$150

One hour on the phone. Come with your questions, leave with a plan.

A full hour with me, one on one, by phone or video.
You tell me about your child: what's going on, what you've already tried, and what's keeping you up at night.
I give you a game plan: the specific next steps for your family and the order to take them.

Best for families who want expert eyes on their situation and a clear next step, without committing to a bigger package yet.

Tier 2

Document Review

$395

I read every page of your child's plan(s), write a summary of my findings, and then we sit down and talk through what I found so you have a plan walking into the meeting.

Everything in the Ask Me Anything Call
I review up to 50 pages: IEP, 504, evaluations, FBAs and BIPs, progress monitoring data.
I read it the way a case manager does: do the goals match what the evaluation found, are the accommodations specific enough to actually happen in a classroom, and is the progress data showing growth?
I type up a written summary: what the plan does, what it doesn't include, what's working, what concerns me, what I'd expect to see for a child like yours that isn't there, and your next steps in order.
Our 1-hour call happens after I've read everything, so we spend it on your child's documents, not background.
You leave with specific questions to ask your school team, written for your child.
Want support around the meeting itself? Add an after-meeting debrief or 30 days of email and text support.

Best if you have the IEP or 504 in hand and something feels off, or you can't tell whether to ask for more or less. After 15+ years in public education and more than 200 IEP meetings led, I know what a strong plan looks like, and I can spot what's missing for a child like yours.

Tier 3

Meeting Prep & Attendance

$995

I'm at the table with you, walking you through the process each step of the way.

Everything in the Ask Me Anything Call and Document Review
A 60-minute virtual strategy session before the meeting, so you and I know what to expect and what to advocate for.
I communicate with the school-based team to ensure you have everything you need to prepare for the meeting.
I attend your meeting and I ask the follow-up questions that are harder to ask about your own child.
A 30-minute debrief within 48 hours of the meeting to talk through outcomes and next steps.
I review the Prior Written Notice with you and email the team a written summary of what was agreed on.

Best for families new to special education (a first IEP or 504), families whose relationship with the school is already strained, or anyone who has asked for something twice and it hasn't happened. I take a small number of these at a time so I can understand your child before the meeting.

Optional add-ons

Rush turnaround (48 hours or less)+$150
Additional document review (per 25 pages)+$75
Extra meeting prep & meeting attendance (per hour)$175
Additional phone consults (30 mins)$75
