When your child is diagnosed neurodivergent,

life changes in countless ways.

​

Their journey and yours change,

with you leading the way for them.

​

I will help lead the way for you.

Parenting a complex child is
exceptional caregiving that requires more.
Time, knowledge, support & resources.

Navigating school and special education
with an expertly skilled partner will
make all the difference.

​​​​​

From their early years through college,

when your child or teen is neurodiverse,

their life revolves around school.

Your life revolves around them.

​​​​

And when your child is struggling, you are too.

It impacts everything. Marriages. Families. Jobs. Time. Mental health.

​​​​​

Increasing your competence & confidence will bring results.

In school. At home. In your child's life. And yours.

​​​

I will show you how. It starts now.

Targeted Coaching

time-sensitive issues.

This flexible, needs-driven support provides direction & input on situations that may be ongoing, intensifying, or emerging quickly.

Navigating special education isn't for the faint of heart.

Why me.

I know you because I've been you.

A working parent raising a neurodivergent child diagnosed at a young age where ongoing school struggles defined life. For both of us.

With a business background and approach, I've been coaching, advising, and providing special education advocacy and related support for 25 years, centered on increasing your ability to effectively navigate the complex special education arena solely focusing
on one child.
Yours.
 

Why now.

Every day counts.

What's working, what's not, why, and what changes are needed to the services, supports, and
other areas across domains.

It may be about special education eligibility, "front-loading" interventions,
IEP development, implementation, and revisions, monitoring progress or regression, modifications & accommodations, or ongoing
school engagement & communication.
All and more are integral to navigating the process.
Your advocacy & role are pivotal.
