About Me
Hi! I’m Dr. Jo and I LOVE helping families navigate the complicated and confusing special education and IEP process.
With over 10 years of experience in special education in public elementary, middle, and high schools, I have sat in hundreds of IEP meetings where parents don’t feel like they can contribute or don’t know what to ask. I am here to help you be an equal member of the IEP team where you can be the expert of your own child, working together to ensure they get the attention, support, and results they deserve.
Experience and Education:
- Special Education Teacher
- Special Education Case Manager
- Special Education Department Chair
- Master IEP Coach®
- Ed.D, Educational Leadership
- MA, Learning Disabilities
- BA, Natural Science
I assist families:
- get a ‘YES’ at the IEP table
- navigate the special education process
- understand their child’s IEP
- prepare for successful IEP meetings where your voice is heard
- advocate for their child
- write official letters requesting supports, services, and data
