With a collaborative, child-centered approach, NeuroGuides supports families and school-based teams in resolvng disagreements and crafting effective, neuroaffirming educational plans

​

There are no "one-size-fits-all" solutions when it comes to creating an effective and individualized plan for the neurodivergent learner. IEP and 504 teams are tasked with choosing the strategies and supports that best meet each child's individual needs. With such a daunting and nuanced objective, disagreements can surface within even the most well-intentioned teams.


When disagreements arise, a skilled advocate can right the ship and help caregivers and school-based teams stay the course by centering the needs and rights of your child. Having sat in multiple seats around the IEP and 504 table, from educator to administrator to parent, NeuroGuides will support and guide you in working with your child's school-based team, without sacrificing your child's education or quality of life.

Educational advocacy services are a significant investment for families, which is why NeuroGuides is committed to transparent pricing. Our most commonly utilized services are billed at a flat rate, because when a critical meeting runs long, climbing costs are the last thing you need to be worrying about.

“When other people see you as a third-class citizen, the first thing you need is a belief in yourself and the knowledge that you have rights. The next thing you need is a group of friends to fight back with.”
