IEP Coach vs. Special Education Advocate
IEP Coach, Special Education Coach, IEP Advocate, Special Education Advocate… What’s the difference!?
There are a variety of people who can help you navigate the IEP process, each with their own specialty and style. IEP and Special Education Advocates tend to take over the IEP process for the parent and fight with the school for what the parent wants. IEP and Special Education Coaches, on the other hand, build collaborative relationships between the parent and the school so the parent fully understands their child’s IEP and needs and are able to act as equal members of the IEP team.
As an IEP Support Coach, I work with you to answer your questions and teach you how to build collaborative relationships with your child’s school so that you are part of your child’s IEP team and can make decisions together. When we work as a team, we get better results for your child.
