What Other Parents Like You have said.
"Most Informative Course ever!"
To have all your resources right here with a live weekly chat is better than a book for me! Your passion to help parents secure needed services for their kiddos comes shining through. Don't IEP Alone Academy is probably the most informative course I've ever taken.
"Definitely my Go-To!"
With so many factors to consider when navigating Special Ed services...and the rights of students and their families, we are so fortunate to have this resource at our fingertips. It is definitely my go-to for guidance and tools, both as a parent to a developmentally disabled daughter and as an Advocate in the community who supports other families.
"Amazing and Helpful!"
I thought your course was AMAZING. It gave me a fresh new way to look at things and was very helpful.
"Got everything I wanted!"
The IEP team did a complete 180 from what they were going to suggest. I got everything I wanted (ICT, PT and ST with OT consult) and several desired goals and accommodations. Now I'm certain my son's IEP states all of the support he needs to be successful.
