Because Every Child Deserves a Voice—and a Plan That Works.

LETS MAKE A PLAN TOGETHER
Courtney Burnett, Licensed SLPA + IEP Coach

Navigating the school system to get your child the services they deserve can feel like an endless maze of roadblocks. 

You’re trying your best, but nothing seems to stick—and you’re left feeling unheard and overwhelmed.

You’re here because you want more for your child. 

More support. 

More understanding. 

More progress.

And you’re in the right place, mama.

I want more support

“Before working with Courtney, I was in desperate need of someone to help me with my daughter’s IEP. I didn’t feel prepared but then Courtney made me feel comfortable with the meetings. I felt she was knowledgeable and communicated with me as much as possible during the process. She explained to me everything that was needed and had to be done.

Courtney Burnett is simply the best. The extensive amount of time she has invested into working with me to provide everything she has for my child has far exceeded my expectations. The struggle is real when you have to fight for your child for FAPE. Having her involved in my child's IEP process has been invaluable. When you bring Courtney on as a member of your child's team, you are also adding a new family member. Courtney is passionately driven to provide your child with the very best outcome.

Parent, California

 

I hired Courtney after a lot of unsuccessful 504/IEP meetings. Courtney was extremely knowledgeable and detailed in the IEP process. Shes also really understanding when it comes the perspective as a parent going the the process. Not only did she help fight for what our daughter needed, she helped me to understand the laws and process altogether.

Why Work With Me?

 

What sets me apart isn’t just my professional background—it’s the depth of my experience and my personal journey.

 

As an SLPA with nearly 20 years of advocacy experience, I’ve had the privilege of working with over 500 families across more than 30 states, helping their children secure the services they deserve.

 But I’m also a mom to a child with disabilities, which means I deeply understand the tears, the frustrations, and the triumphs that come with this journey.

I know firsthand that the school system doesn’t always work the way it should, but I also know how to navigate it, push through the roadblocks, and achieve meaningful results.

Parents who work with me walk away knowing exactly what to say, what to ask for, and how to advocate confidently when they’re not being heard. 

Most importantly, they see real progress in their child’s support and development.

You don’t have to keep fighting this battle alone. I’ll be the advocate in your corner, helping you turn frustration into confidence and confusion into action—because your child deserves nothing less.

What Parents are Saying

Michelle, Arizona parent to a child with disabilities

 

After numerous difficult conversations with my daughter’s school and district, I reached out to Courtney for assistance. She was immediately available to talk on such short notice and listened to my situation. I wish I would have known about her sooner.  I highly recommend her and will definitely be hiring her for our future IEP meetings. Thank you Courtney

Working with Courtney has been a breath of fresh air for our family. Courtney and her team have been an absolute delight to work with. Their knowledge of advocacy law, parental rights, and advocacy responsibilities is astounding. 

Baraa

Parent, Arizona

I hired Courtney when I need more support during our IEP meeting.  She was very helpful in preparing me for the meeting.  She helped me gather my concerns and write them ahead of time.  When I went to the meeting I felt I was prepared but Courtney was there for me as well in case I needed her and I definitely did.  Courtney is your girl if you need help advocating for your kids.

Jasmine

Parent, New York

I found Courtney on Instagram when I was feeling lost and helpless. She came in and helped me create a team, a plan and an understanding of what to expect. Courtney listened to the uniqueness of our case, did her homework, and was fully prepared with state law, and encouragement.

During our IEP meeting she was a kind and supportive presence who made sure my nervous and jumbled thoughts were clearly understood while being confident throughout every turn the conversation took. We had a wonderful outcome, and I truly feel I owe that victory to her. I will definitely be having Courtney on my team for future meetings!
