Special Education
Teachers and Parents
Walk Away from Your Next IEP Meeting Celebrating - Together.
You've been sold a lie that Special Education Meetings have to be sneaky and stressful. I'll show you how to easily navigate IEPs from the paperwork to the people.
Finally, a Step-By-Step System for Parents and Teachers to Build IEPs together!
If you sit at an IEP table
(frustrated and overwhelmed),
YOU belong here.
Any of this sound familiar?
01. Tough IEP Meetings Make You Sweat
Your confidence crumbles when you struggle with how to effectively work through challenging IEP conversations. You need the perfect words to shake up IEP decisions without making people shut down.
02. You've Got Decision Fatigue
You wish you had a crystal ball to tell you exactly the right IEP goals and the perfect placement. But instead, your head swirls with 'what ifs' and 'maybes'. You crave a structured system to make decisions with less doubt and more 'I got this!' feeling.
03. You're Ready to Call It Quits
Maybe this is just the way IEP meetings are supposed to be and you should just stop putting in 110% and put your extra effort elsewhere. You're fall on the floor tired of doing all the IEP prep work for it just to be ignored.
Imagine if Your IEP Meetings were filled with…
LEADERSHIP
You can bring your IEP meetings from disappointing and draining to collaborative and meaningful.
NEW IDEAS
You can toss out old-fashioned IEP goals forever and build future-focused IEPs that work!
ACTION PLANS
Ever felt like you wrote a great IEP, but nothing changes once the meeting is over? Yeah, that's not going to happen anymore.
This is all within reach! Keep reading...
“I'm obsessed with IEPs so you don't have to be. ”
While you're juggling life, I'm peeling back the layers of IEPs, turning complex jargon into plain English, and slicing daunting legal processes into doable steps. I'll sprinkle clarity and strategy over what can feel like a whirlpool of rules and regulations. Why? Because you have enough on your plate. Let me give you my 25 years of IEP troubleshooting experience, so you can focus on what matters –
teaching and parenting.

FOUNDER, MASTER IEP COACH® PROGRAMS
Let's Look Inside Your
MASTER IEP COACH® Leadership Certificate
with Catherine Whitcher, M.Ed
LESSON 1
Purposeful Parent Input and Conflict Resolution
Forget the days of IEP meetings being filled with surprises and second-guessing.
- Develop Parent Input statements that make everyone on the IEP team excited to get to work.
- Dissolve Disagreements and finally get on the same page, as a collaborative IEP team.
- Ditch the dreaded question "Do you have any further concerns?" at the IEP meeting.
LESSON 2
Real World IEP Goals & Accountability
The clock is ticking the minute a child gets to school. We've got limited hours to help a child make progress and we need to make the most of them.
- Stop wasting time on old-fashioned IEP goals and build a future-focused education.
- Stop the blame game and know exactly who is supposed to do what. (Hint: Teachers are NOT in charge of everything!)
- Stop feeling invisible. Your concerns are VALID. Be seen, heard, and valued as an important IEP team member.

LESSON 3
Surprising Supports and Services
A child is never limited to a few speech therapy sessions and an OT consult here and there to support learning differences.
- Find out how to individualize supports without arguing and overwhelm.
- Secure creative supports even through staff shortages.
- Craft student self-advocacy as a key part of the IEP. (This is HUGE!)
LESSON 4
Perfect Placement and Collaboration
Choosing classroom A or classroom B is NOT the way to pick Special Education services.
- Discover how to design an individualized school day.
- Incorporate Inclusion with excellence.
- Navigate the toughest conversations with ease and grace, while always keeping the child first.

Reality
I won't teach you anything that I haven't put to the test hundreds of times. No hypothetical situations here! I've been there and done that and will tell you all the good (and bad) strategies for IEPs.
Resourceful
Staff shortages and lack of funding are part of our reality in Special Education, but there are dozens of ways to design IEPs that work even under the most desperate situations!
Respectful
My brother has Down syndrome, I get the family view. My time in the classroom showed me teacher struggles up close. We're not throwing anyone under the bus on my watch!

"The resource teacher called and THANKED ME!"
Our school‘s new resource teacher just left me a voicemail THANKING me and saying she can’t wait to work together this year.

YOUR MASTER IEP COACH®
Certificate Program
I wish my college program had taught me this.
"Catherine is teaching us the things that colleges should've taught us before we even sat at an IEP table."
Molly, Special Education Teacher
As a veteran teacher, I LOVE the strategies!
I've got 25 years of experience and this program has me invigorated and excited to get back to work and build IEPs in a whole new way!
Christina, Special Education Teacher
I found missing pieces in my son's IEP
I LOVE the IEP Development Assessment Wheel™! As a parent, I found missing pieces that I know we talked about or should've talked about during the meeting. Because of the strategies you taught me, we are fixing the broken pieces collaboratively and quickly.

+
Stop Guessing
Put an end to tossing and turning at night, wondering if those IEP goals you picked are spot-on, if the classroom supports are just right, or if your placement decisions are hitting the mark.
+
Stop Assuming
Time to break free from the 'this is just how it’s done' mindset in our IEP meetings. Let's ditch the assumption that 'never been done' means 'can't be done' and find a way - together!
+
Stop Settling
Let’s move beyond 'good enough' and aim for 'absolutely amazing' inside the IEP. It's like choosing a first-class experience over economy – because every child deserves the very best seat in the house.
I’m Catherine, and I Love Swapping IEP 'Oh No' into 'Oh WOW'!
I've been in the disability community just about my whole life. I'm the big sis to a pretty cool guy, who has Down syndrome and his IEP meetings were my first taste of the IEP rollercoaster from the family-reserved front row.
I had a dream and a plan to shake things up in Special Education as a teacher and I did that for a few years, but - I found myself working late nights helping parents through the IEP system after a full day in the classroom.
After attending an IEP meeting with a parent (that went AH-MAZING after super big struggles in the beginning) an Admin chased me into the parking lot asking me to train her staff to build IEPs with ease, I was hooked on helping teachers, too.
So here I am, 27 years later, still breaking all the old-fashioned rules in Special Education and loving every minute of it!
No Fail IEP Strategies
It's time for you to save yourself from sleepless nights and wasted money trying to figure out Special Education all by yourself and discover special education solutions you've never seen before.
You can have the same strategies Master IEP Coaches® have used in 1000's of IEP meetings, securing tens of thousands of dollars worth of education being left on the table every day because parents and teachers struggle with what to ask for and how to get to a YES from the district.
Every strategy inside of the Master IEP Coach® Certificate program has been tested for YEARS!
- Toss out old-fashioned IEP goals that make no sense for a child's future
- Create inclusion plans with confidence, knowing true connections will be made
