Helping Students Succeed—With Support That Goes Beyond the Classroom

What Is IEP Advocacy and School-Based Intervention?

An Individualized Education Plan (IEP) is a powerful tool—but the process can feel overwhelming for families trying to access services, secure accommodations, or understand their child’s rights. Our licensed professionals provide direct advocacy, observation, and intervention support for students who:


  • Have learning, behavioral, or emotional challenges

  • Are not progressing academically or socially

  • Struggle with school refusal, anxiety, or attention issues

  • Have been identified as needing special education or 504 plans

  • Are dealing with trauma, family instability, or mental health diagnoses that impact learning

We help families navigate the IEP process, communicate  effectively with schools, and advocate for appropriate supports and services. We also work alongside school staff to implement behavior plans, provide onsite coaching, and create strategies that benefit both student and classroom.


Our School-Based Services Include:

  • Attendance at IEP meetings as a parent advocate

  • Behavioral observations and written recommendations

  • Functional Behavioral Assessments (FBA) and support plans

  • Teacher consultation and classroom coaching

  • Crisis intervention and emotional regulation strategies

  • Wraparound communication with school counselors, psychologists, and social workers

  • Referral support for evaluations, therapy, or psychiatric services if needed

Whether your child attends public, private, or charter school—we work within the system to make it work for your child.

Frequently asked questions 


  • What makes this service “intensive” compared to traditional family therapy?

    Intensive Family Therapy involves more frequent sessions, higher-touch support, and often includes in-home visits, making it ideal for families navigating crisis, behavioral issues, or major transitions.

  • Who should participate in the sessions?

    We encourage participation from all primary caregivers, children, and sometimes extended family members—whoever is part of the core dynamic we’re working to support.

    Yes. We offer both in-home and in-office sessions, depending on your family’s needs and comfort level.

  • How long does the program last?

    It varies. Some families benefit from 8–12 weeks of support, while others engage longer. We customize the frequency and duration based on your goals.

  • Do you work with families involved in DFCS or court systems?

    Yes. We are experienced in collaborating with case managers, court advocates, and legal systems when appropriate.
