Dear Parent,

Picture this: You’re sitting in your next IEP meeting. The room is full of educators and specialists, all discussing your child’s future. But this time, something’s different…

You’re not overwhelmed. You’re not confused by the jargon. You’re not wondering if you should speak up.

Instead, you’re calm. Confident. Clear about what your child needs. You know exactly what questions to ask and how to get the supports that will truly help your child thrive.

If this quote hits home, you’re not alone. After years of working with parents, I’ve heard the same story countless times: Parents leave IEP meetings feeling unheard, overwhelmed by unfamiliar terms, and uncertain about decisions that will shape their child’s entire school year.

Many parents describe IEP meetings using words like “intimidating,” “traumatic,” and even comparing them to “being prepared to fight like hell.” One parent shared: “I was caught off guard by how hard it was to listen to the IEP team members talk about the evaluation results. We heard phrases like ‘below average’ and ‘very low.’ We listened to a slew of numbers detailing how standardized assessments rated our ‘non-standard’ child.”

But here’s what I want you to know: It doesn’t have to be this way.

That’s why I’m thrilled to invite you to a transformative free webinar that will change how you approach every IEP meeting from now on.

This isn’t just another webinar filled with legal jargon and theoretical advice. This is a practical, parent-focused session designed to give you the exact tools you need to advocate effectively for your child.

Catherine Kahl, M.Ed., founder of Master IEP Coach®, has helped thousands of parents transform from passive participants to powerful advocates. Together with AngelSense’s Clinical Advisor Melissa Schiefelbein, who is both a BCBA and an autism parent herself, they’ll share strategies that work in the real world.

Research shows that preparation is the single most important factor distinguishing effective advocates from those who feel powerless. Whether you’re new to IEPs or you’ve been through dozens of meetings, this webinar will give you fresh insights and practical tools.

You’ll learn how to:

• Prepare for meetings using our proven 4-week timeline


• Partner effectively with your child’s team using collaborative language


• Document everything to create powerful paper trails


• Ensure your child’s safety needs are met without limiting their independence


• Navigate the complex world of special education with clarity and purpose


• Transform from feeling outnumbered to feeling empowered

The best part? You’ll be learning alongside other parents who understand exactly what you’re going through. This is a judgment-free space where your questions are welcome and your experiences matter.

I know your time is precious. Between therapy appointments, school meetings, and the daily challenges of supporting your child, adding one more thing to your schedule isn’t easy.

But think about this: What if one hour could save you years of frustration? What if the strategies you learn could mean the difference between your child just getting by and truly thriving?

Every parent who has successfully navigated the IEP process started exactly where you are now—feeling overwhelmed, confused, and worried about their child’s future. The difference between those who remain frustrated and those who become effective advocates isn’t innate ability—it’s knowledge, preparation, and understanding that you have both the right and the power to ensure your child receives appropriate education.

Your child’s next IEP meeting doesn’t have to leave you feeling defeated. It can be the moment everything changes – the moment you become the advocate your child deserves.

Remember, effective advocacy is a learnable skill, not a personality trait. Parents who feel powerless can learn to become confident advocates. The key is starting with knowledge, building relationships, and focusing on your child’s individual needs.

You already love your child fiercely—now you can learn to advocate for them powerfully. The journey isn’t easy, but thousands of parents have walked this path successfully. You have more strength and more rights than you know. It’s time to use them.

See you on July 8th!

P.P.S. One experienced advocate shared: “I wasted a lot of time focused on little details that I couldn’t change because I did not know what else to fight for.” Don’t waste another year feeling powerless. Join us and learn what to fight for—and how to win.
