Hi, I’m Laura — founder of IEPrepared.
I’m a former special education teacher with 14 years of experience supporting children with a wide range of learning, attention, communication, and behavioral needs. I hold a Master’s degree in Special Education, along with additional training in autism, applied behavior analysis, and structured literacy.
Throughout my career, I worked closely with families and school teams through evaluations, IEP development, progress monitoring, accommodations, and intervention planning. I saw how overwhelming the special education process can feel—especially when a parent knows their child is struggling, but isn’t sure what to ask for or what should happen next.
That’s why I created IEPrepared.
IEPrepared provides educational consultation and parent support to help families better understand the school evaluation and IEP process, organize their concerns and documentation, prepare for meetings, and ask informed questions with confidence.
I’m especially passionate about supporting families of children whose needs may be less obvious at school—including neurodivergent girls and children who work hard to hold it together during the school day, only to struggle once they get home.
My goal is simple: to help you feel prepared, informed, and confident when making educational decisions for your child.
Support. Clarity. Confidence.
If this is something you are interested in, start here and I will be in touch soon.
