My mission is to:
Parents and school teams, are you ready to finally understand the individual’s IEP and get the supports they need?
As a parent, you want the best supports for your child, but you only get told to sign things and the same things are tried over and over.
You're tired of people not listening to you, things not working and ready for people to support the individual for who they are.
You're done with lack of communication and getting answers
I get it. I've been there, too.
I can't wait to help you.
I provide virtual services Nationwide!
Imagine if...
The individual had the right supports at school
The individual had more smooth days than not
You slept better at night knowing you understood the child's IEP and knew how to advocate for the supports they need
Hi, I'm Hilary!
I remember that feeling of walking into my first IEP meeting as a teacher and feeling overwhelmed. I don’t want you to feel that way!
With special education teaching experience, a Masters in Special Education and navigating my own diagnoses, I've been able to provide additional supports to elementary students and smooth communication to the education team.
Following teaching, I decided to be an IEP Consultant to help families like yours! I can't wait to help you on your IEP journey!

Does any of this
sound like you?
Do you want to pick how we work together (e.g. phone calls, text, zoom)?
Do you want your child’s/ student’s success
and independence to be our focus?
Do you want to be able to get all the IEP paperwork and emails under control?
Do you get frustrated with people ignore your child and not trying anything different?
Are you worried your child isn't receiving the right IEP supports?
Do you want to be able to walk into your next IEP meeting and NOT have any surprises?
That's exactly why we should work together!
COLLABORATION is key. I will help you build bridges with the IEP team, not burn them.
Data and research will be at the core of all your IEP decisions and requests.
Together we'll get everyone in sync with your values to meet your child's needs!
Testimonials
Jane
11 Year Old Child
Hilary was a great resource for our IEP process. Even as a seasoned IEP Parent, she was able to guide us in the best direction in our request for continued services for my middle schooler. Our IEP was a success, and I attribute that to Hilary's helpful documentation and guidance.
Anais
6 Year Old Child
She noted things we wouldn't have noticed and is well versed in the documentation. She helped us think about the right questions to ask and guided us with great patience.
Amanda
5 Year Old Child
I have known Hilary for years, but saw the full depth of her ability when I approached her for help with my oldest son as we struggled to figure out how best to help him.
When we work together you will get:
Email Support
I'll answer all your IEP questions within three business days.
IEP Strategies that Work!
No more googling at 3am to figure out what you need to do next.
