Eight standalone classes designed to turn you into a confident, informed advocate. This program has not launched yet, but you can join the waitlist now and be the first to know when it opens. Classes will be held virtually so you can attend from anywhere in Texas.
Join the WaitlistEach class is designed as a standalone session. You can take them in any order and purchase only what applies to your situation. Or bundle them for the full picture.
Three of our eight classes go deep on the Individualized Education Program (IEP) document itself, because the IEP is the foundation of everything. You can't advocate effectively without understanding what it says, what it should say, and how to make sure it actually reflects your child.
A short, prerecorded video you can watch anytime, at your own pace. What is special education? What are your rights? What does the process look like from start to finish? This is where everyone begins.
What an IEP is, what it must legally contain, and how to read it in a way that actually makes sense. Covers present levels, strengths, and needs.
How to evaluate whether IEP goals are meaningful and measurable, what related services your child is entitled to, and how to ask for what's missing.
What "least restrictive environment" really means, how placement decisions are made, and how to advocate for appropriate placement for your child.
What happens at an ARD meeting, who attends, what you can bring, what you can say, what you can refuse to sign, and how to follow up.
How children are evaluated, what qualifies them for services, how to request an independent evaluation, and what to do when you disagree.
A plain-language breakdown of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act and how Texas state law applies to your child's education.
What to do when the school isn't following the IEP, when you disagree with a decision, and the formal options available to you.
How transition planning works for students approaching adulthood, and how to make sure the IEP prepares your child for life after school.
Every class is available individually. Bundle them for savings and the complete picture.
Intimate sessions with a small group of parents. You get real Q&A time and learn from other families' questions too.
Because classes are held virtually, you never have to drive across town or take time off work. All you need is a device and a wifi connection.
In-person workshops available in the San Antonio area. A great option if you learn better face-to-face.
