Hear "yes" more often at the IEP table.
I know what works, and what DOESN'T
I've sat at IEP tables for over 20 years as Mom, school staff member, and Advocate. My experience gives me invaluable insight and understanding into the process.
Through coaching, consulting, and effective communication strategies, I help families feel supported and get their child the school services they need,
and are eligible for.
Collaboration is key. Magic can happen, when everyone who sits at the IEP table can work together. Parents and advocates alongside teachers and administrators.

I have two boys who are on the opposite ends of the Autism Spectrum and have very different educational needs. When I used to go to IEP meetings alone, I was always unsure if I had done the right thing for my boys.... Now with Sandy on our side, I go into IEP meetings so much more confident knowing that an expert is representing our son

When I used to go to IEP meetings alone, I was always unsure if I had done the right thing for my boys.... Now with Sandy on our side, I go into IEP meetings so much more confident knowing that an expert is representing our sons and fighting to get them every service and accommodation they might need to excel in school.”

“I am so thankful that Sandy was able to be a part of our team when we had our eligibility meeting and I am very appreciative that she was able to stay with us when our meeting went well over the scheduled time. Her knowledge and calming nature set the tone for the meeting to be a success and it is no wonder that she has a very good rep
