IEP Consulting · Arizona

You shouldn’t have to feel in the dark about your own child’s education.

How I help

Support for every part of the IEP process.

Whether you’re staring at an IEP you don’t understand or walking into a meeting that feels stacked against you, that’s exactly the gap I built this practice to close.

IEP Review & Strategy

I read your child’s IEP closely, and the evaluation behind it if we need to check the two match. Then we talk it through together and build your plan for the next meeting.

Meeting Prep & Support

I help you prepare exactly what to ask for, so you’re an informed participant in the meeting. Afterward, we debrief on how it went and map out next steps, including how to make sure the school actually follows through on the IEP or behavior plan.

Evaluation Guidance

Evaluations are confusing. I help you understand what to request and why, then walk you through what the results, MET or psychoeducational, actually mean once they’re back. From there, we figure out what it takes to get that reflected in your child’s services.

Parent Coaching

Know your rights, learn the language special education runs on, and become a full, informed member of your child’s IEP team. One-on-one coaching, at your pace.

Placement & Transition

Moving between schools, public to private, or into a day school? I help you navigate the transition and the paperwork without losing services.

Not sure where to start?

Let’s figure it out together.

What families and colleagues say.

“After our first conversation, the overwhelm was already settling. She clearly explained our rights as parents, the procedural steps for the upcoming meetings, and set the proper expectations. Put simply, it felt a lot less scary.”

About

I’ve been on the other side of the IEP table.

I hold a Master’s degree in Curriculum & Instruction with an emphasis in Applied Behavior Analysis. I spent years in the classroom teaching special education across a range of eligibility categories, and I chaired a special education department before moving to the district level.

More about Jamie

Step by step

Simple, and you’re guided the whole way.

We talk. Free.

A no-pressure call about your child, your worries, and what’s coming up. If I can help, I’ll tell you how. If I can’t, I’ll tell you that too.

We build your plan.

I review the documents, spot the gaps, and give you a clear strategy for the meeting: what to ask for and why.

I’m in your corner.

I prep you before the meeting, then we talk after: what came up, how it went, what questions you still have. You’re never figuring this out alone.

See where you stand before the next meeting.

That meeting is coming either way. A free half hour now means you walk into it knowing what to ask for.
