You Don't Have to Do It Alone
Navigating the special education system can feel overwhelming. Meetings move quickly, documents are complex, and it can be difficult to know how to ensure your child receives the support they truly need.
How We Support Parents
Free
Parent IEP Workshops
Group training on how the IEP process works, how eligibility and evaluations are determined, how to understand services and supports, and how to collaborate effectively with schools.
$300 Flat Fee
Individual IEP Review & Consultation
An independent review of present levels, goal quality and measurability, service minutes, placement and least restrictive environment, and accommodations — checked against IDEA and your state's special education regulations.
Annual Fee or Hourly
Advocacy Retainer Services
For families who need ongoing support across multiple meetings or an extended timeline. After your initial review and first IEP meeting, choose a flat annual fee or pay only for the hours you use.
What You Get From A Review
Group training on how the IEP process works, how eligibility and evaluations are determined, how to understand services and supports, and how to collaborate effectively with schools.
Is This Legal Representation?
No. This is educational advocacy and consultation — not legal representation. If your situation involves a due process complaint, mediation, or litigation, we'll help you understand when it's time to bring in a special education attorney.
Our Values Framework
Independent & Objective
We work for your family, Every recommendation is based on what's right for your child.
Honest, Not Just Agreeable
If the IEP is actually solid, we'll tell you — even if that's not what you expected to hear. If a fight isn't worth having, we'll say that too.
Built to Make You the Expert
Our goal isn't for you to need an advocate at every meeting forever — it's to build your own confidence and knowledge, so you're equipped long after we're done.
Resources
Free tools to help you prepare, whether or not you work with us directly.

Organizations like the Utah Parent Center offer real, valuable, free support through Peer Parent Consultants — and if cost is a barrier, we'll point you there first. The honest trade-off: free help is usually general guidance, often stretched across many families at once, rather than someone dedicated to your child's specific case. With us, you get a two-person team spanning the classroom, district office, private school leadership, and the state level a combined clinical and education-law lens, and a $300 review that covers real dedicated hours — intake, a thorough records review, written findings, and meeting attendance — not a form letter.
