I'm Ready
I’ve sat at hundreds of IEP tables, covered in iced coffee cups and scattered with sticky notes, helping parents and teachers build IEPs that work in the real world.
Every year, my voicemail fills with parents and teachers who are tired of hearing NO at the IEP table.
They're done feeling defeated after every IEP meeting and want to finally walk out of a meeting with their head held high, knowing in their gut they just built an IEP that will make a difference.
It's time everyone
gets what they need at the IEP table.

“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. ”
- danielle, Teacher and parent
I've resisted taking this mentorship for years due to financial constraints, but I've just finished the first strategies and it's been worth every penny already! This is honestly one of the best experiences I've ever been a part of.
“I learned how to strengthen my special education department. There is no other IEP training out there quite like this one. ”
- Jenna, teacher and staff leader
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.
I Love Swapping IEP 'Oh No' into 'Oh WOW'!
I've been in the disability community just about my whole life. I'm the big sis to a handsome guy who has Down syndrome, and his IEP meetings were my first taste of the IEP rollercoaster from the family-reserved front row.
I had a dream and a plan to shake things up in Special Education as a teacher, and I did that for a few years, but I found myself working late nights helping parents through the IEP system after a full day in the classroom.
After attending an IEP meeting with a parent (that went AH-MAZING after super big struggles in the beginning) an Admin chased me into the parking lot, asking me to train her staff to build IEPs with ease, and I was hooked on helping teachers, too.
So here I am, 30 years later, still breaking all the old-fashioned rules in Special Education and loving every minute of it!

ready to change IEP meetings forever?
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 typically enroll to help their own family and then often go on to help more families. Teachers enroll to improve their own IEP meetings and create income 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?
Kind of, but it's 100% collaborative. Your Master IEP Coach® toolbox is NOT filled with traditional advocacy advice and strategies. Included with your Mentorship, you'll receive all of Catherine's advocacy tools that she's used for 30 years to solve Special Education struggles, but... she NEVER filed a state complaint or went to Due Process. You can use her tools to start creating your own income or use them as a launch pad to create your own!
I'm busy! How long will this take?
You'll have access to Catherine 1:1 and weekly small group coaching for 30 days. You can complete the mentorship in 30 days, which takes about 3 hours a week OR you can go entirely at your own pace! This mentorship was built to bend with your busy schedule. There are zero mandatory Zooms, no tests to take, and you'll never be behind.
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®.
