Become the idea bringer, solution finder, and team builder at the IEP table.
Special Education Parents and Teachers...
I've sat at thousands of IEP tables, covered in coffee cups and laptops, helping parents and teachers build IEPs that work in the real world.
I've been guiding teams for 25 years to think outside the box and get rid of old habits at the IEP table.
There are 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 a YES from the district.
No matter what time of year it is, my inbox is overflowing with parents tired of playing games in Special Education.
They're done feeling defeated after every IEP meeting and want to finally walk out of the room with their head held high knowing in their gut they just built an awesome IEP for a child who needs to start making real progress at school.
This is where you step in as a Master IEP Coach®!
Parents are googling right this very second trying to figure out what to do with their child's IEP before another school year slips by. You could be their answer.
Parents are scrolling through Facebook reading about everyone's IEP disasters and praying the same doesn't happen to their child. You could have the roadmap to help them with the toughest decisions they've ever had to make.
Inside of the Master IEP Coach® Mentorship, I'll teach you how to level up a child's IEP and...
-
Say Goodbye to Old School IEP Goals
-
Stop Fighting Over Services
-
Secure Critical IEP Supports
-
Start Designing Inclusion Plans that Work
Yes, you can swipe everything I'm going to teach you about IEPs and just use it at your own IEP table, but you could go one step further and become a Master IEP Coach® to help others and get paid for your expertise.
If you do your job right, as a Master IEP Coach®, you will save parents hours of time and tons of money.
You'll show parents Special Education solutions they've never seen before.
Master IEP Coaches® spark teachers & teams to shut their laptop lids during a meeting and lean into creating more than just an IEP document. You'll be the go-getter who knows how to build an educational experience that students and parents brag about.
If you've read this far, I know you've got big dreams to change special education for both yourself and others!
I'll show you how to create...
-
A website from scratch on a shoestring budget so people can find you
-
Connections in your community to build your IEP coaching business
-
A fee structure for your knowledge that feels fair and puts food on your table
I hold nothing back inside of the mentorship!
By the end of your mentorship, you will have your own Master IEP Coach® Toolbox that you can start using immediately to HELP FAMILIES!
These are the exact tools that I've used in the past and still use today to help parents, teachers, therapists and admins build IEPs that make sense for every child's unique needs.
When you join me for this mentorship, you will be prepared to start taking your own IEP Help phone calls from parents & special needs organizations in just a few weeks!
This is perfect timing for you to get the skills you need to help parents decide exactly what they need to do before Summer break starts.
You'll be ready to help parents & teams make the toughest decisions about placement, therapies, and IEP goals.
Let's work together and change our community, one IEP at a time.
With Hope & Determination Always,
Catherine Whitcher, M.Ed

“I built my business from scratch and I'm giving you everything.”
I got my first client in 1996, while I was still a teacher, by accident. Nobody helped me figure out what I should charge, how to build a website, or what to do to get more clients. Let me give you my 25 years of IEP Coaching experience, so you can focus on what matters – helping parents through the IEP process.

"Catherine is teaching us the things that colleges should've taught us before we even sat at an IEP table."

Catherine Whitcher, Master IEP Coach® Founder

Every strategy inside of the Master IEP Coach® Mentorship program has been tested for YEARS!
- Toss out old-fashioned IEP goals that make no sense for a child's future

I Love Swapping IEP 'Oh No' into 'Oh WOW'!
In case we haven't bumped into each other before, I'm Catherine Kahl, M.Ed, founder of the Master IEP Coach® Mentorship. I've been in the disability community just about my whole life. I'm the big sis to a handsome 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!
