    Understand how each plan works, who qualifies, and what types of supports they offer.

  • How to Be an Effective Advocate
    Get practical tips for speaking up, asking the right questions, and ensuring your child’s needs are recognized and met.

  • How to Spot Red Flags in Plans and Goals
    Learn how to identify pathologizing language or goals that don’t affirm your child’s strengths or neurodivergent identity.

  • How to Prepare for Meetings with Confidence
    Walk away with actionable tools like checklists, question prompts, and binder systems to help you feel organized and ready.

Let’s turn overwhelm into empowerment—together.
