Strategic Review Services

This service is designed for parents who want to lead their own IEP or 504 meetings but need expert review and strategic preparation to ensure documents are accurate, compliant, and supportive of their child’s needs.

Best for families who want:

  • IEP or 504 strategy without in-meeting advocacy

  • Professional document and record review

  • Confidence signing final school plans

Services Include

60-Minute Advocacy Strategy Consultation
We define goals, anticipate school responses, and prepare talking points so you enter meetings calm and prepared.

Comprehensive Educational Record Review
I review your child’s IEP, 504 Plan, Evaluation Team Report (ETR), and recent progress or discipline records to identify gaps and advocacy leverage.

Draft IEP / 504 / BIP Review
I review draft plans prior to meetings so you can request revisions and respond strategically.

Final Document Compliance Check
After the meeting, I review signed documents to confirm procedural compliance and ensure services accurately reflect what was agreed upon.
