Don't let another IEP meeting leave you feeling powerless.
Every parent of a child with special needs knows that gut-wrenching feeling when your child's team just doesn't understand who they really are or what they need. You leave IEP meetings wondering if you said enough, asked the right questions, or pushed hard enough for what your child deserves.
It doesn't have to be this way.
A comprehensive, self-paced online course that gives you the exact tools, strategies, and insider knowledge you need to navigate the special education system successfully. Through 7 in-depth modules, you'll learn how to understand evaluations, craft effective goals, secure appropriate services, and ensure your child's IEP is actually working. Whether you're new to special education or a seasoned advocate looking to improve your skills, this course transforms confusion into confidence.
