Frequently Asked Questions
Should I take your Live Bootcamp/ln House Training if I am a parent of a newly identified child with special needs?
Yes. Your child’s education is of utmost importance, so it’s imperative that you learn about the IEP process that will guide and control your child’s education. This is true whether you are new to the IEP process, or a veteran participant who simply wants to learn more about how to become a better advocate for their child.
Do you have any shorter Bootcamps?
If you desire to learn but prefer a shorter commitment, you may want to look into our Live Workshops or a Custom Workshop on a specific topic. Send us a note and we will see what we can do to accommodate the request and provide pricing. We aim to meet your unique needs!
How often will you have your Bootcamps?
If I can't be at a Live Workshop, will you be able to provide me a recording?
