Facilitated IEP/504 Testimonials

Parent Perspective

"This was by far the most productive IEP meeting we’ve ever had. For the first time, I left feeling hopeful and confident that the school and my family were truly working together for my child’s success."

Educator Perspective

"The facilitators kept our team focused and ensured that every member had a voice at the table. Their structure helped us stay on track and find areas of agreement even in a challenging situation. This process made the meeting collaborative, supportive, and—most importantly—centered on the child’s needs. As an educator, I left feeling that the outcome was stronger because of their involvement."

Trust & Relationships

"This process helped rebuild trust between the school and our family, something that had been badly fractured by past experiences. Having neutral facilitators created space for honest conversations, mutual respect, and practical solutions. Instead of moving toward conflict, we were able to re-establish relationships and create a path forward.”

Neutrality & Fairness

"I was impressed by how neutral and professional the facilitators were throughout the process. They ensured that both parents and school staff had equal opportunities to speak, and they kept the discussion balanced and respectful. Even when emotions were high, the facilitators created a safe space for everyone’s perspective, which helped the team reach agreement.”
