IEP Coaching That Meets Your Needs.

💬 What if you never had to second-guess an IEP again?

You’re dedicated, experienced, and passionate—but no one ever showed you how to actually write a defensible IEP.

And now:

  • You're stuck Googling “is this legally okay?”

  • You're unsure if your goals are measurable enough

  • You worry your IEPs might not hold up if challenged

Let’s fix that—together.

The Defensible IEP Blueprint is a hands-on group coaching experience designed to help you write IEPs that stand up to scrutiny and speak to student needs—without the stress, overwhelm, or late-night editing marathons.

✨ Imagine this...

✅ Writing IEPs with data-backed Present Levels that clearly show need
✅ Creating measurable, meaningful goals with confidence
✅ Matching SDI and services perfectly to student needs
✅ Leading IEP meetings without fear of pushback
✅ Knowing your paperwork can stand up in an audit or hearing

That’s not a fantasy. That’s what happens when you have a framework that works—and the coaching support to implement it.
