I help Parents turn those gut feelings about your IEP into action items your Team will respond to.

Hi! I'm Lisa Lightner.

None of us asked to be a part of IEP World, but here we are.  And if you're going to do something, do it well.

But most parents don't know where to begin. That's where I come in.

Over 12 years, I have attended hundreds of IEP Meetings. While our kids may differ, the IEP process never changes. A bit of what I offer:

  • IEP Coaching and Advocacy Training for Parents
  • E-Guides, Tools and Resources for you to maximize your participation.
  • Letter Templates, Goal Banks and Much More.
  • Support Boards for both Parents and Advocates
  • Specialized Add-On Training for those who wish to become Professional Advocates.

Here is what makes me different--

I'm an IEP Parent myself. No, that doesn't make me different. Most advocates are parents. Who would learn this stuff if we didn't have to?

But most training that is community or school-based or comes from agencies--guess what? They sugar coat stuff. They may walk you through statutes and regulations, but they don't tell you how to apply it.

I help parents develop an Advocacy Strategy. One that works no matter what the situation.

"I just want to thank you for all that you do. You help so many kids by helping us parents. I have referred your site to dozens of others; and leverage the information there in all my IEP meetings. "
