About Me

Welcome, Special Needs Parents!

Are you journeying through the intricate landscape of special education, grappling with feelings of stress, overwhelm and judgement? I deeply understand the challenges you face, and I’m here to support you. As a Special Education Teacher with over a decade of experience in case management, I am an expert in understanding complex world of special education from all perspectives. I have spent my career supporting families by helping them understand their rights and walking them through the complex IEP process from Referral to IEP.

As a parent myself I know first-hand the overwhelming emotions that come with navigating your child’s education. Parenting is inherently demanding, and when your child has special needs, it adds an additional layer of complexity. The daily juggle of responsibilities, therapies, medical appointments, and family commitments becomes a delicate balancing act. As a parent of a child with special needs, you also find yourself immersed in ongoing research, brainstorming and creative efforts to support your child’s daily learning at home, at school and in the community.

Staying well-informed about your child’s progress across various settings is crucial for effective advocacy and collaboration in crafting your child’s Individualized Education Program (IEP). At the IEP table, every parent shares the common goal of securing the best for their child. Ensuring that your child receives the right support and services to learn effectively and develop vital skills for their future is a collective mission.

I understand your journey and I’m here to help.

As an experienced educator, Special Education Teacher, and Private Tutor, my passion lies in assisting families in discovering peaceful and practical solutions for learning both at home and at school. With over a decade of guiding families through the IEP process, I have developed solutions to address challenges students face at home and at school. Together, we have explored various programs, accommodations, and services, providing students with the necessary support to ensure ongoing success in school.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed and grappling with the intricacies of the special education process, rest assured that I am here to help. Leveraging my decade-long experience as a case manager, teacher, tutor, and mom, I am prepared to assist your family in navigating your unique situation and finding effective solutions to alleviate school-related stress.

Let’s work together to ensure your child receives the tools they need to learn, grow, and thrive.

Sincerely,

Cassandra Scotto
