Courtney Burnett
Parent • Board-Certified IEP Advocate • Special Education Advocate
I’ve sat on both sides of the table — as a parent fighting for my child and as a trained advocate supporting families nationwide.
I built this class to give parents the clarity and confidence I wish I had when I started this journey.
No legal jargon. No overwhelm. Just tools that work.

What happens in these meetings impacts your child for years. When you don’t have a clear plan,
it’s easy for important supports to be missed, delayed, or dismissed.
You walk into IEP meetings unsure what to say or ask for.
Decisions get made that don’t reflect who your child really is.
Services stay patchy, inconsistent, or “waitlisted.”
Your child continues to struggle in a system that doesn’t fully see them.
You know exactly what to ask for and why it matters.
Meetings stay focused on your child’s needs—not just the school’s limits.
You leave with next steps you understand and can track.
You get a plan designed to help your child actually learn, grow, and belong.

You don’t need another confusing process. You need a simple path that helps you prepare, feel confident, and know what to do next.
Start with a quick look at your options—DIY prep, focused IEP review, or full one‑on‑one advocacy—so you can pick what fits your family and
your budget.
Use step‑by‑step videos, guided questionnaires, and/or personal feedback from me to organize your concerns, clarify your goals, and plan what to ask for at the IEP table.
Show up prepared, speak up for your child with clarity, and leave knowing you advocated for the services and supports they
truly need.

"It is so refreshing to have somebody working with special needs children who truly gets it.
Courtney helped me turn chaos into clarity and gave me the confidence to finally get my child what he needs."
Special Needs Parent from New York
"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."
Parent from West Virginia
"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."
Parent, Arizona
"I found Courtney on Instagram when I felt lost and overwhelmed. She helped me build a team, create a clear plan, and understand what to expect.
She took time to understand our unique situation, came prepared with state law knowledge, and offered steady encouragement.
During our IEP meeting, Courtney was calm, supportive, and confident. She helped translate my nervous, scattered thoughts into clear points and guided the conversation every step of the way.
We had an amazing outcome, and I truly credit that success to her. I will absolutely have Courtney on my team for future meetings."
Parent, New York
"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, New Jersey
