You can become a Master IEP Coach®

There are tens of thousands of dollars worth of education being left on IEP tables every day because parents and teachers struggle with what to ask for and how to get to a YES from the district... you could be the answer.

do you sit at an IEP table?

ENROLL NOW

I've sat at thousands of IEP tables, covered in coffee cups and laptops, helping parents and teachers build IEPs that work in the real world.

No matter what time of year it is, my voicemail is overflowing with parents and teachers who are tired of playing games in Special Education.

They're done feeling defeated after every IEP meeting and want to finally walk out of the room with their head held high knowing in their gut they just built an awesome IEP for a child who needs to start making real progress at school.

This is where you step in as a Master IEP Coach®!


It's time everyone
gets what they need at the IEP table.

“Honestly, Catherine's mentorship was life changing for my family and now I can help others.

“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. ”

“I learned how to strengthen my special education department. There is no other IEP training out there quite like this one. ”

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.

Let's gEt STarted!

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 her 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!

How do I know if this is right for me? 

If you currently sit at an IEP table (in any role) and you want to be part of the Special Education solution, the Master IEP Coach® Mentorship is for you! Parents enroll to help their own family and then often go on to help more families. Teachers enroll to improve their own IEP meetings and many choose to then help families outside of their district. Admins, therapists, traditional advocates... everyone can use the Master IEP Coach® Mentorship to get better results at the IEP table with less stress and overwhelm! *No degree is needed.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will you teach me Special Education law?

Catherine is not a lawyer and doesn't give legal advice. Instead, she'll share with you EXACTLY where to look in IDEA Law (it's for all 50 states) to get the details you need to make THE BEST IEP decisions and hear YES at the IEP table more often. 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?

Yes! Included with your Mentorship, you'll receive business strategy sessions that show you the exact 8 steps that Catherine has used for 30 years to build her own career coaching parents and IEP teams through the Special Education system. If you are thinking about creating income by helping others, this is the perfect start.

Noteworthy: If you don't want to get paid for your IEP expertise, you'll ignore the business trainings and get massive value from the mentorship by using everything at your own IEP table. 

I'm busy! How long will this take?

You can binge your entire Master IEP Coach® library in a weekend and download your Master IEP Coach® Certificate, but... most people take 3-4 weeks to go deep into the videos, guidebooks, and asking Catherine questions through the 1:1 support. There is no set schedule. You do everything on your timeline!

I'm a teacher, can I stay in the classroom and do this?

YES! You can use everything you learn at your current IEP meetings and you can help families outside of your classroom. Everything inside of the Master IEP Coach® Mentorship helps families and schools work together, even through the toughest situations. You will NEVER want to get paid by families in your own district, but you can absolutely help families in surrounding districts and nationwide.

I'm a parent, can I really do this?

YES! You can use everything you learn at your current IEP meetings and you can help families outside of your district. (I never recommend getting paid to help families in your own child's district.) Everything inside of the Master IEP Coach® Mentorship helps families and schools work together, even through the toughest situations. And, if you decide a business isn't for you... you'll LOVE using all the strategies at your own IEP table!

Got a different question?

Send Catherine a text at 815-302-1273 and say: I'm thinking about becoming a Master IEP Coach®, but I need to know (insert your question here). 

Yes, that's really Catherine's number, don't worry, she keeps her phone on Do Not Disturb most of the time. Go ahead and send that text at 2am - she'll get back to you over her morning coffee. She's serious about changing Special Education and wants you to have all the answers you need to make your decision to become a Master IEP Coach®.
