The problem

You know your child. But IEP meetings can leave you feeling lost.

Schools use confusing jargon. Meetings move fast. And most parents leave without knowing what they had the right to ask for — or push back on — until it's too late.

"We don't offer that service at this school."
"We don't have the budget for that."
"Your child is doing fine — they don't qualify."
"You need to sign this today."
"It wouldn't be fair to the other students."
"That's a discipline issue, not a disability issue."

Hi, I'm Sherrita Sims.

I'm a speech-language pathologist with over 20 years of experience supporting neurodivergent learners and the families who fight for them every single day.

I've sat in more IEP meetings than I can count — on both sides of the table. I know exactly what schools say, what they're required to do, and what most parents never get told.

I created this guide because parents deserve to walk in prepared, speak with confidence, and walk out with results.

Walk into your next IEP meeting ready.

Instant access. Start using it today — even if your meeting is tomorrow.
