Meet your IEP bestie, an Special Education Advocate, Courtney Burnett
The United States special education system is truly one of a kind and can be very overwhelming. I have over fifteen years of experience navigating the public school system for special education. I am board certified as a special education advocate and have children of my own on an IEP and 504 plan.

Using my signature P.A.T. methodology:
Plan: Together, we’ll create a roadmap that ensures no detail is overlooked.
Act: I’ll guide you step-by-step as you implement your plan with the school.
Transform: You’ll see real, measurable progress as your advocacy transforms into tangible results for your child.
But don't just take my word for it. Read these reviews!
"Before working with Courtney, my daughter was excluded from school activities because of her food allergy. After working with Courtney, not only did my child receive the services and support that she needed, Courtney's expertise educated the entire school district on inclusion for her allergy!"
"I knew my daughter needed support, but I didn't know where to start. Courtney helped me navigate the process by getting my daughter tested. She assisted me during the process to get the IEP meeting set up. We live in different states, but Courtney went the extra mile to be on the phone to coach me during the actual meeting!"
"Before our next IEP meeting, Courtney listened to all of our requests for Benny. She was able to translate exactly what we wanted so the school could understand our needs. Courtney even attended an IEP meeting with us to make sure the school legally implemented everything that we wanted."

"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."
Sonia
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."
Michelle
Arizona parent to a child
with disabilities
"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."
Neke
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."
Baraa
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."
Jasmine
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."
