*Service hours are valid for one year from the booking date. Time may be allocated at your discretion.
NOTE: Coaching is between the parent and Wendy only. Service hours may be used for a pre-IEP meeting to review concerns/areas to address during IEP meeting and/or after an IEP meeting to review the proposed IEP prior to consenting. Included service time may also include advice regarding parts of the IEP or special education process, review of school or private assessments, review of any additional concerns, development of suggested action list for parents, or any other support needed by Wendy outside of attending the IEP meetings.
NOTE: IEP coaches cannot give legal advice, file complaints, or follow due process. If you need these services, we can direct you to an IEP Advocate. However, our goal is to help you avoid those issues by giving you the tools to create and keep a strategic, effective IEP team for your child!
