Special Education Advocacy Services for Parents | IEP & 504 Support

Every child’s needs are different — and navigating special education shouldn’t feel like guesswork. Whether you’re facing your first IEP meeting, managing a 504 Plan, or simply unsure where to begin, I’m here to help you understand your rights, explore your options, and take confident, informed steps forward.

As a certified special education advocate with over 30 years in education, I provide compassionate, personalized guidance for families across New York, New Jersey, and beyond. Below, you’ll find the core ways I support parents, guardians, and caregivers just like you — from documentation reviews to parent coaching to IEP meeting preparation.

IEP-Meeting-Support

IEP Meeting Support

We don’t just attend meetings. We prepare you to lead them.

✅ Pre-meeting review + strategy

✅ In-meeting support (virtual or in-person)

✅ Follow-up guidance and documentation

IEP=Parent-Coaching

Parent Coaching & Education

We don’t just teach. We translate — so you can act with confidence.

Our parent education sessions are designed to simplify the complex and hand you the tools that matter most. We cover what your rights are, what the law says (in plain English), and how to spot the gaps your child may be falling through.

Whether you’re new to advocacy or seeking clarity after years of fighting the system, we meet you where you are — with real answers and strategies that work.

✅ One-on-one or group sessions tailored to your goals


✅ Plain-language breakdowns of IEPs, 504s, evaluations & rights


✅ Guidance that grows your confidence, not your stress

IEP-Guidance

 504 & Eligibility Guidance

Accommodations are a right — not a favor.

If your child needs support in school but doesn’t qualify for an IEP, we’ll help you explore 504 options and ensure the right accommodations are in place. We support you through evaluations, eligibility meetings, and ongoing revisions.

✅ 504 plan strategy

✅ Eligibility review + next steps

✅ Advocacy during initial or updated plan meetings

IEP-Records-Review

Records Review + Document Clarity

Because paperwork shouldn’t feel like a second language.

We’ll help you understand every page, highlight what matters, and prepare questions to bring into your next meeting. No legal speak — just human-to-human clarity.

✅ Evaluation + IEP reviews

✅ Goal and service analysis

✅ Highlighted summaries for parents
