Supporting children with learning differences poses unique challenges. As parents begin to navigate the special education process in public schools, they are often left feeling confused about how to help their child. The experiences parents encounter in obtaining various supports for their child at school (through SST meetings, IEP meetings, and 504 meetings) can be confusing, contentious, and at times without outcome. These experiences can be isolating for families and can lead to a withdraw from the greater community. Parents, children, and families often experience a sense of defeat as they try to navigate a complex system designed to educate their child. We are here to help.

Butterfly Lane Specialized Academic & Advocacy Services offers parents an avenue of empowerment. We offer advocacy services to help you truly understand your rights as a parent, and help you retain your expert role as such - YOU are THE EXPERT regarding your child.

We begin with your parental rights and help make clear the nature of the IEP process in public schools. We stand beside you to educate you about the system, your rights, and ensure your voice as your child’s expert is heard. We provide parents and families a safe space to learn how to navigate a complex process designed to ensure your child receives a Free and Appropriate Public Education (FAPE) in the most Least Restrictive Environment (LRE) appropriate, considering all aspects of YOUR child.

We walk you through each step of the IEP process, from the, “I think my child is struggling” stage, to the “I think my child needs an IEP stage,” and finally through to the “Help! I have a teen” stage. We help with every stage in between and sideways from Pre-kinder to Highschool and Beyond. We help clarify the jargon, dissolve the shroud of data, and work to build bridges toward success for your child. We support you in your quest to fully support your child. We offer Advocacy, Consultation, Assessment, and Educational Therapy Services to meet your child’s unique educational needs.

Our ultimate goal at Butterfly Lane is to empower parents who can confidently advocate for their children.
