Ready to understand your child's IEP?
The IEP Bootcamp helps parents understand the contents of their child's IEP!
Raise your hand if this sounds like you...
- You feel like everything in the IEP (individualized education program) is confusing -- and you don't even know where to start to learn about it!
- You feel rushed and on your own to figure out what's in the IEP -- but you don't know where else to ask for clarification on your child's educational plan!
- You know your are supposed to advocate -- but you don't know what to ask for!
- You want your child to have effective IEP Goals -- but you don't know what that looks like!
- You want to know more about what accommodations you should ask for -- and ones that are actually going to WORK for your child!
You don't have to be so lost when it comes to reading your child's IEP!
Now imagine understanding your child's IEP in just one weekend...
Here's what that would look like...
- You look at your child's IEP and actually know what's in it
- If there is anything you have questions about...you have resources to look it up!
- If you still can't find the answer, you have the confidence to ask an informed question of the IEP team!
- You aren't intimidated by the draft IEP that comes home before the meeting
- You know what challenges that are missing from your child's IEP
- You can start the 2023 year with clarity around what to do to get your child supported this year!
You deserve to feel this way as an advocate for your child, all you need is a little help!

I'm Beth Liesenfeld, occupational therapist and passionate supporter of parent advocacy!
In my time serving schools, I picked up on things successful parent advocates did that made a HUGE difference in the success of their children!
The first thing I noticed is parents who had even a little knowledge about what was in their child's IEP had more clarity on what to ask for!
Join us for a SUPER fun filled weekend to understand what's in your child's IEP! I can't wait to get started!!
