IEP document review
We read the IEP with you and explain what it says — what's there, what's missing, and what to ask for next.
Pathway three · Professional Support
Professional Support
One-on-one, individualized help from someone who has spent more than 12 years inside special education — as a teacher, in administration and coordination, in compliance, and as a parent advocate.
This is the higher-touch option: a real person who reads your paperwork, prepares you for your meetings, and helps you plan for what comes next.
Services
Help that fits the situation you're in
Services are organized around the parent’s actual problem — not professional jargon. Pick the group closest to what you need; most families start with one service and grow from there.
Every published service has a clear, up-front price — see the Services & Pricing page.
Paperwork & meetings
The documents, the meetings, and the language in between.
Evaluation / ETR review
We help you understand the evaluation results and what they mean for your child's plan and services.
504 plan review & support
We review the 504, explain your child's rights under it, and help you ask for what's missing.
IEP meeting preparation
A private session to get ready — your questions, your talking points, your plan for the meeting.
Progress & goal review
We help you read progress reports and understand whether goals are being met — and what to do if they aren't.
One-on-one guidance
A real person to think it through with, whenever you need it.
Ask a Professional
Bring your questions about school, home, or what comes next — and get a clear, plain-English answer.
Parent consultation
A conversation about your child and your situation — no jargon, no pressure, just a clear next step.
Parent coaching & support
Ongoing support around educational and daily-living strategies — routines, communication, and the hard moments at home.
Educational advocacy guidance
Understanding your child's rights and how to use them — without turning the meeting into a fight.
School communication preparation
We help you draft and prepare emails, phone calls, and conversations so you're heard clearly.
Planning for the future
The years ahead, mapped out one step at a time.
Transition planning
A plan for life after high school — timelines, meetings, documents, and choices, mapped out together.
College transition support
Understanding how college works without an IEP — disability services, accommodations, and how to prepare.
Employment & vocational planning
Job-readiness, vocational services, and the steps between school and work.
Independent-living planning
Money, housing, transportation, and daily living — the skills and supports that make independence possible.
Finding the right help
When the question is about services and programs.
Local resource navigation
Help understanding which types of services exist, what to ask providers, and how to make sense of your options.
Understanding what type of professional you need
Not sure whether you need an advocate, a therapist, an attorney, or something else? We help you figure out who to look for.

Good to know
What professional support includes — and what it doesn’t
Compass provides educational information, parent support, practical resources, and special-education consulting — drawing on more than 12 years in the field: teaching, special education administration, coordination, compliance, and parent advocacy.
Compass does not provide legal representation or legal advice, and it does not provide medical treatment, therapy, or diagnosis. If a situation calls for an attorney, a therapist, a psychologist, a behavior analyst, or another licensed professional, we’ll help you understand what type of professional may be appropriate — and how to find one.
