Ready to get your
child the right support?
As an educator and coach, I know firsthand how confusing the special education process can be - all the meetings, paperwork, procedures. But here’s what I also know: YOU are your child’s best advocate.
You don't have to figure this out alone! .
I’m here to help you.
Imagine if...
You could breathe easy when sending your child to school.
You could have confidence when reading your child’s IEP.
You slept better at night knowing your child was making progress at school, in the skills that mean the most for their future.
Hi, I'm Melissa!
I remember walking into my first IEP meeting, having feelings of being overwhelmed and anxious.
I don’t want you to feel like this!
With over 15 years of experience navigating IEP meetings for my students and their families, I've been able to successfully collaborate with schools and families, to secure the needed supports, services and accommodations for my students.
I'm a proud member of the Master IEP Coach® Network and I can't wait to help you on your IEP journey!

My son was having meltdowns disruptive behaviors at school. He wasn’t able communicate why. Working with Melissa we were able to collaborate with the school and team to get the right behavioral and social emotional supports in place for him. Now he is spending more time engaged, happy and is becoming better at communicating his needs in school!

Sending my child off to school for the first time, felt scary. Especially since she wasn’t able to tell me about her day. After working with Melissa I now have clear communication with the teachers every day.
