The insider perspective you've never had access to before
15+ Years in Special Education I 360° View I 2 Advanced degrees
You know your child best, their strengths, challenges, and potential. With 15+ years as a special education advocate, I help families navigate the system to secure the support their child deserves.
My experience spans roles as a former special education teacher, IEP compliance officer, administrator, and non-attorney advocate, giving me a full understanding of how schools operate and what they’re required to provide. I’ve supported families in countless IEP meetings, ensuring children receive appropriate services and accommodations.
With a doctorate in Educational Leadership focused on childhood trauma and ADHD, I bring both practical and research-based strategies to every case, so no opportunity for support is missed.
This course is everything I walk through with my one-on-one parents, you do not want to miss this.
LEARN WITH ME!Most parents leave IEP meetings unsure what was just decided...
Eight professionals across the table. A stack of documents you were handed minutes before the meeting started. A room full of people who speak a language you were never taught. You nodded, you signed, and you drove home wondering if you had just let your child down.
Here are what most parents dealing with the IEP process run into:
Evaluation reports written in clinical language designed for professionals
 IEP goals that sound thorough but are too vague to track or challenge
Progress reports that don't clearly show whether their child is moving forward
Meetings where key decisions were made before parents walked in
Special education eligibility criteria that schools never fully explain
This is what changes when you understand the system
Before:
- Lost in the IEP process
- Confused by eligibility and evaluations
- Unsure what progress data means
- Emotional and unprepared in meetings
- Afraid your child is falling further behind
After:
- Understand how the system works
- Know how eligibility decisions are made
- Interpret your child's progress data
- Prepared for every IEP meeting
- Show up informed, calm, and confident

Success Stories
Parents navigating the IEP process successfully
"Dani played a pivotal role in ensuring the best possible outcome for our child at a private school in Greenwich. She worked tirelessly to secure the district’s support and then guided the school to effectively implement the recommendations. Her extensive knowledge and ability to present compelling arguments were instrumental in achieving the necessary decisions with both the school district and the school itself."
