Family Support

Consultation & IEP Guidance in Covina, CA (Virtual Available)

Sometimes you don’t need another full evaluation- you need someone to help you make sense of what you already have, understand your child’s needs, and feel confident walking into the next school meeting.

Family Support services are designed to help parents feel clear, prepared, and supported when navigating concerns like learning struggles, behavior at school, accommodations, or IEP planning.

What Family Support Can Help With

Families often reach out when they need support with:

  • Understanding school or private assessment reports

  • Deciding whether to request a 504 Plan or IEP

  • Preparing for an upcoming IEP meeting

  • Reviewing goals, services, and accommodations

  • Clarifying what supports are realistic and appropriate

  • Troubleshooting school concerns (behavior, attention, anxiety, burnout)

  • Creating a plan when school communication feels overwhelming

Parent Consultations

Supportive, practical sessions to help you:

  • clarify concerns and priorities

  • understand what your child needs most

  • create a plan for next steps at home and school

You’ll leave feeling:
✔ more confident
✔ more informed
✔ more prepared

Most importantly, you’ll leave with clear next steps for how to support yourself and your child.

Independent Educational Evaluations (IEEs)

If you disagree with a school district evaluation or feel your child’s needs were not fully captured, I offer Independent Educational Evaluations (IEEs) to provide a thorough, objective assessment and clear recommendations.

IEEs may be appropriate when:

  • Results don’t match what you see at home or school

  • Important concerns were missed or not assessed

  • Eligibility was denied but struggles continue

  • You want clearer guidance for services, goals, and supports

IEP Support & Guidance

Guidance to help you feel prepared and informed before, during, and after IEP meetings, including:

  • reviewing IEP documents and proposed changes

  • identifying strengths-based goals and supports

  • clarifying what to ask for and how to phrase concerns

  • planning follow-up steps after the meeting

Note: IEP support is focused on education planning and collaboration. Families are always encouraged to consult with an attorney if they need legal representation.
