For parents
You shouldn’t need a decoder ring to get your kid help.
Special education runs on acronyms, deadlines, and a process that assumes you already know how it works. Bridget spent 20 years on the school’s side of that table — now she’s on yours.
How we help families
What Bridget does for parents
Evaluations, decoded
Psychoeducational evaluations, eligibility criteria, and classification decisions — explained in plain language, not district-speak.
IEP & 504 meeting prep
The questions to ask, the services to request, and exactly what to say — before you sit down at the table.
Attendance at meetings
Bridget in the room (virtual or in person) so you’re not facing the committee alone.
Reading the evaluation
A line-by-line read of the psychoeducational evaluation, with what it actually means for your child’s services.
Missed or cancelled services
Follow-up when OT, speech, or PT sessions get cancelled or quietly stop happening.
The “turning 5” transition
Moving from CPSE (preschool special education) into kindergarten-age CSE services — timed to your child’s birthday.
Annual review & reevaluation timing
Knowing when reviews are due, what changes, and how to prepare before the date arrives.
Disagreeing with the district — calmly
When you don’t agree with a decision, the calm, documented way to say so and what to ask for next.
Especially early childhood
The CPSE → kindergarten transition is where families get lost.
Bridget’s graduate training and four years teaching Preschool Intensive Special Education at LAUSD center on early childhood. If your child is approaching their “turning 5” transition out of CPSE, this is exactly the moment to bring in someone who’s run that meeting from the other side.
