Where are you right now?
Every family comes to this from a different place. Pick the one that sounds most like you, and I'll point you to the best place to start.
"Something feels off, but there's no plan yet."
You've noticed your child struggling, and you're wondering if it's time to ask the school for help. Start with how evaluations work in Alabama and what to ask for.
"The school mentioned a 504 plan."
A 504 plan can be a strong support when the accommodations are specific and every adult knows them. Here's what to look for.
"We have an IEP or 504, and I'm not sure it's working."
If something in your gut says this plan isn't matching your child, you're probably right to look closer. I'll read the plan and send you clear written feedback on what's solid, what may need attention, and what to ask next.
"A meeting is coming up and I want to be ready."
If you'd like my thoughts in writing before you walk in, start with a written review of your plan. If you'd rather talk it through together, book a session.
"My child is struggling with reading."
Reading struggles have names, and they have answers. Here's how dyslexia support works in school and what to ask about.
"I want my child's teacher to really know them."
Meet My Learner helps you turn everything you know about your child into a one-page profile a busy teacher will actually read.
"I just want to understand the basics first."
That's a great place to begin. Start with the free 504 guide, then read along as I walk through IEPs and 504 plans one step at a time.
