The Parent Advocacy Club is a community space for parents looking to gain knowledge and receive support to build your skills to advocate confidently without the fight!
TheParent Advocacy Club is the only place that provides training, tools, and support based on what is actually working in schools today!
You will always know what perspective information is presented to you, and have the information you need to make the best decision for your situation. No one will ever tell you what you have to do, but solid advice will come from experiences seen first hand in over 400 IEP meetings.
Having enough knowledge to ask informed, educated questions makes a world of difference in getting the school's attention, yet giving you that level head to make the best decisions for your child's unique situation. Only you can be a great parent advocate for your child. Be confident you are the best advocate for them!
How much time are you spending worrying about how you should word a request? Or what an offhand comment meant from a school staff member? Have a go-to place to go to ask questions and get advice without posting across several Facebook groups or spending hours searching for just the right blog post that answers your question.
Pillar 1: Knowing the System
Let's be clear. You do NOT need to know everything about the IEP system to effectively advocate within it.
What you DO need is a solid understanding of the basics so you can ask informed questions of the IEP team if something is fishy.

Pillar 2: Relationships
Every effective parent advocate I observed had at least one good working relationship with a school IEP team member.

I started to notice some parents somehow getting the most out of their school IEP team....
Their IEPs for their children were amazing!
And their children learned and grew.
Over time, I started to notice three core pillars of skills that these parent advocates had.
I started The IEP Lab out of a growing need to share what I was seeing work best in advocating for children in the schools.
Because, don't all children deserve an amazing advocate? And who better than a parent to be that advocate??
I cannot WAIT to see your confidence grow, and best of all, your child be fully supported in school as a direct result of your efforts.
See you inside The Parent Advocacy Club (Welcome to the "PAC"!)

The IEP Lab
As a fellow special needs parent I have had the unique pleasure to witness when caregivers realize just how important it is to tend to their own emotions and human needs so they may better serve their family.
I know first hand what it is like to lose yourself in your child's diagnosis and the stress of learning how to navigate the IEP process. I have felt the pain and burden of having to quickly educate yourself on something that takes professionals years of study to understand. I know the worry of if you are navigating it all in the best way for your child.
As parents and caregivers we are quick to put our emotions last, however, I have seen and personally experienced just how impactful it can be to tend to our feelings and emotions so we may better navigate the winding road, with all the ups and downs, of the IEP process. It can take hard work and that's what I'm here to help you with! I'm excited to help guide you on your emotions journey in a safe and comfortable way, give you tools to stay grounded and feel empowered, and watch you feel more empowered along the way!
