Questions Parents Ask
Why not just ask ChatGPT or a Facebook group instead?
You can, and plenty of parents do first. The problem is that a chatbot doesn't know what a rushed evaluation looks like, and a Facebook group is giving you someone else's kid's story, not a trained read of your child's actual scores. This session applies the specific, repeatable method a school psychologist uses to read any evaluation, directly to yours.
My child already had an evaluation. Is this still for me?
Yes, that's exactly who this is for. We'll go through the report you already have, line by line.
We already had the IEP meeting. Is it too late?
No. You'll finally understand what happened in that room, and know exactly what to ask differently next time.
What if my child did not qualify for services?
We can talk through exactly why that happens most often, and what to do next if you still believe your child needs support.
Is this only for ADHD or one specific diagnosis?
No. The method applies to any evaluation, any age, and any suspected area of need, because it's about how to read the data itself.
What if we are in another state?
The federal law behind every evaluation, IDEA, applies everywhere in the United States. The process and the reading method are the same.
My meeting is tomorrow. Is it too late to book?
Reach out and I'll do my best to find an evening slot that works before your meeting.
My child hasn't been evaluated yet. Is this still useful?
Yes. The bonus playbook includes the Request for Evaluation letter template and Timeline Tracker, so you have what you need from the very first step, not just once you have a report in hand.
Is this legal advice?
No. This is practical, insider guidance from a school psychologist's perspective, meant to help you understand and advocate. For legal disputes or due process, you would still want a special education attorney or advocate.
How is this different from what the school already tells me?
Schools explain what services they're offering. This session helps you independently check whether those services actually match what the data shows, before you're sitting in the meeting.
What if my child's evaluation uses different tests than the examples?
The DECODE method works with any standard score, from any test. The specific test names change; the scoring scales and how to interpret them do not.
What exactly do I get with the Special Education Consult?
A full walkthrough of your child's evaluation, IEP, or whatever question is in front of you: plain English explanations of every major score or goal, strengths and areas of need, whether the recommended services match the data, a highlighted copy of your documents, your top questions for the meeting, recommended next steps, and a live video chat with me to go through all of it together, up to 45 minutes, one on one.
Do you offer payment plans?
Yes. If the flat fee is a stretch right now, mention it on your free call and we'll set up a plan that works for you.
Do I need to buy the playbook separately before booking a consult?
No. The Crack the Code playbook is included free when you book the Special Education Consult, so you get both the live conversation and the reference guide in one booking. If you're not ready to book yet, start with the free 10-minute call instead.
Is the review the same as a second opinion or an independent evaluation?
No. I'm not re-testing your child or issuing a formal report. I'm reading the evaluation and IEP you already have and explaining, in plain language, what the existing data shows and supports, so you understand it before your meeting.
I only have the evaluation, not the IEP yet. Can I still book the review?
Yes. Send over what you have. If you get your IEP before our call, forward that too, and I'll fold it into the review.
What if it doesn't help?
You're covered by the 30-day money-back guarantee. Book the session, and if it doesn't make you feel more confident, email for a full refund.
