IEP compliance reviews and training for school districts
Find out where your IEPs stand before a parent complaint or state monitoring visit does.

About
BCIEP · BCASE · K–12 Reading Specialist
I'm a special education case manager with 16 years in K–12 education, as a classroom teacher, a reading instruction coach, and now writing and managing IEPs every week. I'm Board Certified in IEP Development through the National Association of Special Education Teachers.
I started EmpowerED because most IEP gaps aren't about effort. They come from forms, habits, and turnover, and they're very fixable once you can see the pattern.
