Free. Come with your questions.
You Nod Along in the Meeting, Then Think of Every Question on the Drive Home
You walk in with a folder full of worries and walk out with a stack of papers you didn't fully follow. Everyone around the table sounded so sure. You didn't want to slow things down, so you nodded and signed.
You know your child better than anyone in that room. It just doesn't feel like it counts.
Maybe they told you to wait and see. Maybe you got a 20-page report full of percentiles and still can't tell if your kid is behind. Maybe the goals sound fine on paper, and your child still can't read the homework.
You know something isn't working. You just haven't had the words yet to make the room hear it.
It Was Never About Being Louder
Same parent. Same child. Same school. A completely different meeting, depending on what you walk in with.
Nodding Along
- Waiting for the school to tell you what's wrong
- Hearing the scores and hoping they're fine
- Signing off on goals that sound good
- Finding out months later that nothing changed
A Voice That Carries Weight
- Knowing what's really going on with your child
- Knowing what those scores are actually telling you
- Asking for goals the school can be held to
- Catching it early when the plan stops working
Inside the Masterclass: One Class, Five Shifts
Get clear on what's really happening
Not textbook dyslexia. Your child, your kid's reading, and what you're actually seeing at the kitchen table. This is where your voice starts to carry weight.
Ask for the evaluation the right way
How a request gets made matters just as much as what it says. You'll see why so many requests quietly sit, and what makes one move.
Make the report make sense
What your child's percentile scores actually mean, so a 20-page report stops being noise and you can spot a red flag when you see one.
Walk in with a specific ask
The difference between a goal that sounds good and a goal the school can be held to, and why that difference changes the whole meeting.
Know if it's actually working
How to tell when a plan on paper stops matching what's happening in the classroom, before another year slips by.
This Is for You If
- Your child is struggling to read, and you're not sure the school sees it the way you do.
- You've been told to wait and see, and your gut says waiting isn't working.
- You've sat in a school meeting and left feeling more confused than when you walked in.
- You have an evaluation or an IEP in hand and honestly can't tell if it's any good.
- You're tired of feeling like the school runs the process and you're just there to sign.
- You want to walk into the next meeting calm, prepared, and taken seriously.
Not for you if you're looking for a script to win an argument. This is about walking in prepared, not walking in ready for a fight.
Save My Seat
Hi, I'm Jennie.
I've sat on both sides of the IEP table. Before I switched to the parent side, I was a special education teacher and an IEP case manager, and I hold a master's in special education. Today I'm a certified dyslexia interventionist, and I mentor parents of struggling readers all over the country.
I don't go to the meeting for you. I help you become the parent in the room whose voice carries weight, because you know what you're looking at and what to ask for.
Leave Knowing What to Say, and Why It Matters
By the end, you'll understand why those meetings have felt so hard, and you'll have a clear way to think about your child's evaluation, report, goals, and progress. Bring your questions. We'll leave time for them.
