01
IEP Review & Action Plan
I read your IEP and give you a written plan — what’s strong, what’s missing, and exactly what to ask for next.
Concierge IEP Advocacy
Schools don’t fight for your child. I do.
Schools don’t always listen to parents. You shouldn’t have to learn the law to get your child what they need. I’m Michelle — concierge-level advocate, and a mom of a complex kid. I’ve sat exactly where you’re sitting.
I sit between you and the school, coordinate the people, the paperwork, and the plan, and get the outcome your child deserves. You stay the parent. I handle the rest.
Michelle’s Offer
Before you book an Advocacy Call, hear what working together actually looks like.
Michelle walks through what concierge-level IEP advocacy means, who it is for, and how she helps parents move from overwhelmed and unsure to prepared, supported, and clear on the next step.
What I can help you do
Get your child what they need — without losing yourself in the process.

12
Feel like a parent again, not a case manager
This is what concierge-level advocacy looks like. You stay the parent. I handle the rest.
The school isn’t listening. Or they’re listening and not hearing you.
You bring up the same concern in three meetings and it still isn’t in the IEP. You ask for an evaluation and get a “let’s wait and see.” You sign a plan because the room felt rushed and now you’re not sure what you agreed to. Most parents aren’t being heard — they’re being managed.
You walk out of the IEP meeting, get to your car, and cry.
You held it together in the room. You nodded when they used words you didn’t fully understand. You signed something because everyone else was signing. And then you sat in the driver’s seat in the parking lot and broke down — because you knew, in your gut, that what just happened wasn’t what your child needed.
If you’ve been that mom in that car, you’re in the right place.
