CREATED BY PARENTS FOR PARENTS
As parents, we want more than anything for our children to grow up healthy and happy. So when challenges arise, it’s hard on the whole family. Whether you are struggling to get extra support for your child at school, understand your child’s IEP, strengthen relationships with teachers, or face a more serious mental health diagnosis, you should never have to go through this experience alone.
Empowering Parents was created by parents who understand firsthand the struggles of behavior and educational issues. Acting as liaisons between families and schools, we provide valuable expertise and support throughout the special education process. We’re here to lend a helping hand—or hold your hand—as you navigate this difficult journey. Together, we’ll help set your child up for success, both in and outside the classroom.
The process of finding the appropriate help for a child is daunting and confusing.

Even though my daughter is in high school, it was obvious that she was struggling with executive functioning deficits. I thought it was probably too late in the process to get support from the school. Julie encouraged me to reach out, citing girls are under extremely diagnosed with issues compared to boys.
