What this support
looks like.

IEP support is parent-centered speech-language guidance for school evaluations and meetings. Jessica reads the report with you, explains scores and goals in plain language, helps you plan your questions, and clarifies what to ask for in writing before you agree to a plan. It is not legal representation. It is an experienced second reader in your corner.

Who this is for

Parents of preschool and school-age children facing an initial or annual IEP, a reassessment, or a speech-language report they cannot quite decode. Also families deciding whether to request a school evaluation.

What IEP help can include

Support is shaped around the meeting in front of you.

Reading the speech-language report together, scores and narrative both
Planning the questions you want answered
Reviewing proposed goals for specificity and measurability
Service delivery questions: minutes, group or individual, push-in or pull-out
Preparing for an initial or annual IEP meeting
Follow-up planning once the plan is signed

What makes a helpful speech goal

A goal you can hold the team to should tell you four things.

The specific skill being targeted
How progress will be measured, and how often
How much prompting or support your child may need
Where the skill matters during the school day

What this is not

This is not legal representation. It is parent-centered speech-language guidance designed to help you understand the communication and school pieces more clearly, so you can speak for your child with confidence.

Before we talk.

Questions parents ask about iep support.

Can you attend an IEP meeting?

Depending on scheduling and the type of support needed, preparation and meeting support can be discussed during the initial conversation.

Can you review speech-language goals?

Yes. Goal review can help parents understand whether goals are specific, measurable, meaningful, and connected to classroom or communication needs.

Do California assessment timelines matter?

Yes. California timelines are important in special education planning, including the 60-day assessment-to-IEP timeline after written consent, with some school-break exceptions.
