Can you help with my IEP or 504 problem?
Below are a few examples of common issues I help families with on a regular basis.
Getting an IEP or 504 for the first time
Becoming eligible for special education services is often one of the biggest hurdles in the whole IEP process. In my former role as a school psychologist, I worked on special education eligibility ALL. DAY. EVERY. DAY. I also know the tests used in the evaluations inside and out because I administer and interpret them daily. If your child meets the criteria for special education services, I can typically walk you through that process in 90 days or less.
Understanding the IEP Process
Maybe your child already has an IEP, but you are confused about how it all works. I can help you to determine if the IEP that has been written is appropriate to meet your child’s needs. I can also educate you about what to expect and pitfalls to avoid as you move forward.
IEP Problems
If you haven’t been able to get your child the services that they need, I am here to help you work through that. Some common problems I can assist with are incorrect classroom placements, insufficient services, poor implementation of IEP, manifestation determination, and violations of parental rights.
504 Accommodation Plans
If your child has or needs a 504 accommodation plan, I can support you as well. This includes becoming eligible for accommodations and getting a good plan in place.

Hi! I’m Dr. Brandi! 👋
I am a former school psychologist and special education teacher. I have insider knowledge about how things work on the school side of the table through having been a school system employee for several years.
When I worked in the school setting, I attended HUNDREDS of IEP meetings. After witnessing the stressed faces of overwhelmed parents, I founded Your IEP Source to give parents the secret weapons to get real things done to get their child a good IEP.
Unlike many advocates, I am a professional in the field. I hold a Masters’ Degree in Special Education and a Ph.D. in School Psychology. In addition to book smarts, I have experience. Having worked on the school side of the table for many years, I know how things work behind closed doors.
I put my expertise and insider knowledge to work for you and your child!

How to Work with Your IEP Source
Our 1:1 advocacy services are designed to give you support that’s tailored to your child’s needs
The IEP Strategy Roadmap package is our entry-level service for new clients.
When you go to a medical doctor, they review your medical history before making your treatment plan or prescribing you medication. Your IEP Strategy Roadmap begins with a thorough review of your records and documents to diagnose what types of IEP or 504 problems you are facing. After identifying the issues, we’ll create a targeted plan of action to help you get results quickly. This service package includes:
A professional record review
Analysis of your IEP or 504 issues
A one-hour consultation
A written summary
IEP Problem Resolution Services help you implement your IEP Strategy Roadmap.
Currently available for Georgia-based clients, this service package typically includes:
Email support
Consultation calls
Done-for-you parent input statements and letter writing
Ghostwriting of emails
Review of documentation for accuracy
Assistance monitoring the effectiveness of the services and accommodations
With this package, you also have the option to add on meeting attendance and representation.

It’s Time to Make Things Right with Your Child’s IEP
Every day that goes by without your child getting the services that they need means that the gap between them and their potential is growing larger and larger.
The larger the gap grows, the harder it will be to close it.
How long have you been trying to get your child the services that they need in school? Months? Years?
Do you feel frustrated by getting the run around when making requests from the school? Perhaps you have reviewed your parental rights and you know that it shouldn’t be this way. Yet… you continue to feel gaslighted, confused, and as if you aren’t being heard.
Have you found yourself staring at your cup of coffee and wondering if they do this to everyone or if it’s just your kid?
Have you been bleeding time and money with private tutoring or therapy to fill in the gaps that the school is missing?
All the while, your child is falling further and further behind because they aren’t getting the services that they need.
Most families who come to me have been working for 6 to 12 months to solve their IEP problems, sometimes even longer! I can typically help you find a resolution to your major IEP problems in about 90 days. That’s HALF the time!
