Learn to become a Master IEP Coach®

Special Education Teachers, Parents, Admins, and Therapists… you’ve got IEP experience and thousands of parents need help. But being a traditional advocate is NOT exactly what you want to do. That’s okay!

Parents are looking for a trusted person to guide them in tough decisions and stressful IEP meetings, but they don’t necessarily want a traditional IEP advocate.

You could be their answer.

It’s time you finally did that collaborative advocacy thing you’ve always wanted to do.

Stop searching “How to become an IEP advocate” or “How much do IEP advocates earn.”

You’ve found your answer.
You’re in the perfect place!

I can help because I’ve been there

Decades ago, I was broke and broken and tired and overwhelmed.

I watched my mom advocate for my brother (who has Down syndrome). Her struggles motivated me to become a Special Education teacher.

Spoiler alert – in my first year of teaching, I knew I needed a different path than the classroom.


IF YOU’RE FEELING:

FRUSTRATED BY Broken IEPs…

Your heart breaks when you see parents and teachers struggling through Special Education.

OVERWHELMED BY Negativity…

You’re tired of all the drama in Special Education. You just want people to stop fighting and start building better IEPs.

NOT SURE HOW TO….

You’re stumped at how to get paid to help others and you definitely don’t want to be a cranky advocate.

Hi, I'm Catherine.
Fixing IEPs is my thing.

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.
