The Right IEP Help at the Right Time.

Get Help With Your Child’s IEP, Step by Step.


If something isn’t working, you don’t have to figure it out on your own. Learn how to review your child’s IEP, ask for what they need, and respond when the school pushes back.

It's not you, it's the system.

This is for IEP parents who:

  • Your gut is telling you something is "off" with your IEP, but you're struggling to define it, or make the school see what you're seeing.
  • You have an IEP meeting coming up and don’t know what to ask for, or how to get the school to agree to it.
  • You’ve read the IEP and thought, “This doesn’t look right,” but don’t know what to change. 
  • You’re being told to “wait and see,” but your child isn’t making progress.
  • You’ve asked for help and aren’t getting clear answers.
  • You feel like you’re missing something but can’t figure out what.

The IEP process is complex by design, so if you’ve felt confused or unsure, that’s not your fault.

Lisa Lightner

I’ve been in thousands of IEP meetings over the past 16+ years, helping families figure out what works and what doesn’t. I don’t teach abstract concepts. I show you what to do and how to do it.


I've made my fair share of mistakes. I've fired team members and case-managers and blindly asked for twice the number of services my son was getting (expecting twice the progress!). 


Our early meetings were not what I'd call "successful." I have attended workshops and conferences that were a waste of time and money. 


But what I took away from those other expensive training is this:


  • Going through IDEA line by line is not helpful if you're not given a blueprint of how to implement it to get what your child needs. 
  • Intervention ideas are not helpful if you don't know how to ask for them (and get them!).
  • What good is knowing your rights, if no one teaches you how to apply them?


That's what sets my help apart--it's useful, meaningful and actionable.


Once I figured it out, I told myself I wasn't going to stop until I could help every possible parent out there. So that's what I do.

You've got Qs. I've got As.
  • Is this for beginners?
    Yes. If you’re new to IEPs or even have been through the process for years and still feel stuck, this will meet you where you are.
  • What if my child already has an IEP?
    That’s exactly who this is for. Most parents join because something isn’t working or they need to make changes.
  • Do I have to go in order?
    No. Start with what you need right now. Whether that’s preparing for a meeting, asking for an IEE, or even listening to what the attorneys had to say in their training sessions--you only watch the videos that meet your needs.
  • How quickly can I get help?
    Immediately. Your access is sent out within minutes.
  • Is this a membership?
    Yes. You can stay as long as you need support and cancel anytime. Cancellation instructions are sent to you when you register, so you're never "stuck."
  • Try Don't IEP Alone risk-free.
