Welcome!
I help families of children with Down syndrome create IEPs that allows them to thrive in school;
focusing on their strengths and challenges.
You know that feeling when you're at an IEP meeting, and its like you're on one team and the school's on another? Yeah that's rough.
Or, ever left an IEP meeting feeling like you just ran a marathon? Exhausted, overwhelmed and thinking, 'Wait, what just happened?'
How about the moment when the school number pops up on your phone and your hold your breath thinking "What happened now?"
You know you want your child to participate in inclusive classrooms, but will he be supported or get lost in the shuffle?
Do you feel like you are constantly educating others about Down syndrome and your child's unique needs?
LET'S CHANGE THAT!
