*I hate to say it but do you feel like you...*
"Just need someone to look at it?"
Because no one can be a better advocate for your child than you.
And they shouldn't be!
And the highest quality parent advocacy advice when it comes to IEP's, 504's or coordinating your child's care doesn't come free...
This 1:1 attention is full-blown focus. Taking into account your relationships, tension, what your child needs, and total brainstorm and clear action steps.
Pick my brain that's been through over 400 IEP meetings myself AND have helped 100's more parents navigate their advocacy situation around the country.
Have you been listening to the podcast and saying "yeah but what about...?"
You aren't alone! Many people have been reaching out and asking for this kind of conversation, service, and focus.
I'll help you focus on the outcome you most need help with, and then dive into our 60 minutes prepped and ready to get you on the right track...
...feeling like a confident parent advocate who has the skills to get their child what they need!
A Power Hour is Perfect if...
You need an IEP Review.
Your child has an IEP and you don't know what you are looking at or if it's going to lead to effective outcomes for your child. Talk through it in-the-moment, and have that Recording and Session Recap to look back on whenever you need it!
You need help focusing your advocacy efforts.
Your child has an IEP that needs a major revamp and you need help with what needs addressed first and what your best options are for fixing it that lead to the BEST results in the QUICKEST ways! We'll create a path towards getting that IEP whipped back in shape and how to get school IEP team buy-in to do that, too!
504 Brainstorm or School Followthrough Chat.
Your child has a 504 and you need to brainstorm accommodations and modifications OR you need help in knowing how to help the school team with implementation of accommodations at the preschool, elementary, middle, or high school level.
No Formalized Plan (yet!)
You have a child that is struggling in school, but doesn't have a formalized plan, and you need help to figure out what you should ask for and how to do it. Would they qualify for an IEP? What does that look like? And how does that work? Is a 504 better in my case? Why or why not? Do they have a read plan? Does the school utilize flex scheduling? We can talk through all the options here!
IEP Denial
You went through allll this work to get your child evaluated for an IEP with the school. Things were finally moving in the right direction. And then they deny your child an IEP or 504. What actually happened? What do you do next? We will make it all make sense and hone in on your options from here.
Parent Vs. School Team Tension
You are a parent who is in an advocacy situation where things are a little...sticky. While we don't provide legal advice so we recommend you seek legal advice for things like filing due process or filing a state complaint, Beth can help you with repairing relationships and how to move forward after advocacy got heated or a parent/school relationship that's going nowhere near being on the same page to support your child.
A "how did I get here?" moment -- totally!
Beth Liesenfeld (that's me!) is an occupational therapist that's been working in the field of people for 20 years. I was first an adaptive horseback riding instructor and served over 300 individuals with disabilities. When I became an OT, I worked in pediatric clinics and early intervention. When I started schools (even though I'd been a para before)...it was...interesting.
The jargon, the acronyms (alphabet soup anyone?!) and the downright confusion of IEPs caught me off guard that first year.
But. Asking lots of questions and over 80 IEP meetings per year (+ some 504's in there, too) I figured it out. And saw some major themes in parents who were mind-blowing effective at their advocacy (and *HINT* they didn't have to file state complaints or due process hearings to get what their child needed!)
Now I help parents figure out this wonky system and guide them in knowing their options so they can make the best decision for THEM to make in their unique situation.
Your child's precious learning time (and let's be honest -- your emotional energy!) is way too valuable to waste getting lost in the internet to find your answers. In 60 minutes you could have a clear path forward.
So let's jump in!
-- Beth
With a Power Hour you get...
One focused hour of deep dive into your situation that we segment bit by bit to discover where you want your child to go, what's in your way, and concrete strategies to move you past it to get your child supported in school.
Borrow my brain while I bring HUNDREDS of personalized IEP and 504 experiences to the table to tell you what's typical and what supports are best to ask for and help the team implement (and maybe even a hint to what will actually work for your kid!)
Here's what you get:
60-minute zoom chat
Popular topics include an IEP audit to go over your child's IEP and what you feel like needs changed or tweaked, understanding your child's evaluation report, what to focus on in your advocacy, working through how to move past advocacy challenges (gotta hard-to-work-with case manager? I've been there!), or any other block you are encountering that you need to talk through.
Pre-Meeting Survey
For a lot of parents, it's hard to know what to ask in these types of things! So we help you maximize your 60 minutes by sending you a pre-meeting survey (aka the application!) in order to help you organize your thoughts and know what we are targeting in our session!
PDF Recap Sheet
This PDF includes Beth's notes on the sessions, major points to highlight, laid out next steps, and also notes any resources that were mentioned during the session that may be helpful. Delivered within 24 hours of the call!
Recording Download
Option to download the recording of the session so you can watch it again and/or share it with other significant people in your child's life.
Because I get it!
Going through a group program may not be a great fit right now...
And you may need some focused, individualized help before you even can figure out if that would be appropriate!
So for less of the price of an advocate or lawyer...
...why not have your own IEP Insider looking over what the school provided...
...and helping you move past being stuck to building your advocacy confidence?!?
Was it helpful? Let's find out!
"I am very glad we made the investment in asking Beth for help auditing and coaching us throughout our kids IEP as we are at a reevaluation stage and our child will be entering high school next year so it is very important to us to have a very good comprehensive IEP in place.
I only wish we had sought help when they were younger. Beth has a lot of experience and was able to answer our questions. She went above and beyond in helping us. Thank you so much!"
