Hey, I'm Sandy.and IEPs don't have to feel like a fight.
I'm a bilingual educational advocate and Master IEP Coach®. For 20 years I've sat at IEP tables as a parent, a school staff member, and an advocate — so families like yours never have to walk in unprepared again.
"Turning conflict into collaboration — one IEP meeting at a time."
Twenty years in this fight —now fighting for your family.
I've sat at IEP tables for over 20 years — as a parent, a school staff member, and a certified advocate. That combination is rare, and it's exactly what lets me translate what's really happening in a meeting.
I work with families of students who have learning disabilities, special needs, or other healthcare concerns. Through coaching, consulting, and community workshops, I help you get past the jargon and toward a plan that actually works.
Como IEP Coach bilingüe, también acompaño a familias hispanohablantes que navegan el sistema de educación especial. Nunca tienes que hacerlo sola.

What parents sayafter Sandy's in their corner.
"Sandy walked us into a meeting we had been dreading for months and walked us out with an IEP we actually understood. She's the reason my son is thriving this year."
"Como mamá que no hablaba el ‘idioma’ del IEP, tener a Sandy fue todo. Por primera vez me sentí escuchada en la mesa."
"She turns what feels like conflict into a real conversation. Our team left the meeting on the same side of the table for the first time."
