Testimonials:

“Amy has been a partner, resource and advocate to me over the years. I struggled to find the right terminology to articulate the needs of my daughter as well as work through the tedious process for services of my own. Amy was not only in my meetings to support me, she was coaching me along the way through the entire process. Amy is compassionate and knowledgeable, her calm wisdom put me at ease. At the same time, she comes across strong and professional when she is in action at a school administration meeting. She is someone that you want by your side. I highly recommend Amy as an advocate and resource.”

“As a client of Amy’s who took her IEP Course in 2022, I came away feeling both educated and prepared to advocate for our daughter in a way I absolutely wouldn’t have been able to without it. Amy gave me the best tips for how to communicate our daughter’s need with educators in a way that showed our knowledge of the system in a respectful way. I went to the meeting prepared with a checklist of questions, a parent concerns statement, and I was ready to point out both our concerns in addition to all of the positive gains our student had made. As a result, our meeting felt collaborative rather than combative. This is hugely important for parents who are effectively speaking on behalf of their student until he/she gets to the age when they can participate themselves. Amy taught me how to be her voice until she can advocate for herself. We are forever grateful!

“We have been working with Amy for the last three school years. She has been with us since the very first IEP meeting to the most recent, and everything in between! During this time, Amy has been able to guide us to take our son for the necessary evaluations, read through all the testing, and ensure that we have appropriate goals and objectives in our son’s IEP. Most importantly, Amy has been available to me in my most trying of times and listened to me when I have been so worried about my son! We are so grateful to have had Amy by our side!”

“The IEP Workshop was immensely helpful to understanding my rights as a parent of a differently abled child with learning challenges. It empowered me to go back to our Annual IEP Meeting and not shy away from asking for the most assistance from which my child would benefit. If this is your first or second year and you are unhappy with how you child’s learning needs have been addressed, I would strongly encourage you to take this Workshop and benefit from Amy’s experience.”

“I have had the pleasure of working with Amy Whipple for many years through the public school system as a fellow Speech Pathologist. I can’t say enough about her professionalism and devotion for the families that she touched the lives of. She spent countless hours in her role as a SLP on the student support teams where she advocated for families services and outreach programming. Over the past few years I have had the opportunity to collaborate with Amy through private practice and have witnessed her continued commitment to families in her role as an educational advocate.”
