“I didn't think it would be worth it. It was. I didn't think it would work for me. It did. I didn't think I'd be *that* success story. I am. ”

Catherine leads with a servant heart, and she has created a community of like-minded powerhouses! The Master IEP Coach® Community quickly became MY people. They allowed me to be my authentic self and better educate students and families. This mentorship has truly been a game-changer for me.
It's been almost 30 years since I sat at my first IEP meeting as a new teacher (spoiler alert, I didn't stay a classroom teacher for long). But, my first taste of the IEP rollercoaster was in the front row, at my brother's IEP meeting. I knew right then, the IEP process needed help, and I was all in.
3 decades ago, I felt helpless and hopeless about Special Education.
That first IEP meeting I attended with my Mom for my brother (who has Down syndrome), was brutal. I watched my Mom squirm. Nobody prepped my Mom for the uncomfortable conversations that were happening. I felt helpless.
Just a few years later I walked into my first classroom as a Special Education teacher. It was empty. No books. No supplies. No guidance on how to implement the stack of IEPs I was handed. I felt hopeless.
But, now I'm filled with hope & possibilities for every IEP meeting and I can't wait to show you how you can be, too.
i can help because i've been there
but nowI know how to help!

Will you teach me Special Education law?
Catherine is not a lawyer and doesn't give legal advice.

All decisions are your own and by the way... no decision is ever permanent. Catherine will teach you how to make the best decisions for now and how to switch them later!
Does this help me build a career as an IEP Coach/Advocate?
