Full Service Advocacy
To book a free 30-minute consultation call, contact me at tara@capablekidsadvocacy.com
Navigating the special education system can be overwhelming, but you don’t have to do it alone. Our full-service advocacy provides comprehensive support throughout the entire process—from the first consultation to attending IEP or 504 meetings with you. We review and interpret evaluations, IEPs, and school communications so you fully understand your child’s current supports and rights. We help you prepare for meetings, draft strong parent input statements, and ensure your concerns are clearly and effectively documented.
We also assist with communicating with the school district, ensuring your voice is heard while keeping things professional and child-centered. Whether it’s requesting data, negotiating services, or clarifying legal protections under IDEA or Section 504, we guide you every step of the way. If the school isn't meeting its obligations, we support you in exercising your state and federal rights. Our goal is simple: to empower you to be the best advocate for your child while helping you secure the services and supports they deserve.
Parent Coaching
Navigating the maze of systems that serve children with disabilities—special education, medical providers, regional center, IHSS, and more—can feel overwhelming and isolating. Our parent-coaching service is designed to help you make sense of it all. Through flexible support via phone, Zoom, or email, you’ll have access to an experienced special education advocate who can help you understand your options, organize next steps, and feel more confident making decisions across the different systems involved in your child’s care.
Whether you’re trying to figure out how to apply for services, respond to confusing paperwork, prepare for an IEP meeting, or get clarity on what your child may qualify for, coaching offers practical, real-world guidance. We’ll walk you through how these systems overlap, where to push for more, and how to advocate effectively. Think of parent coaching as your personal guide—someone who understands the complexity and is here to help you feel informed, empowered, and supported every step of the way.

Neurodiversity Affirming Advocacy
At Capable Kids, we prioritize the voices and perspectives of neurodivergent individuals, advocate for inclusive practices, individualized supports, and environments that honor each person's way of thinking, learning, and interacting.
Unlike traditional approaches that may focus on "fixing" or changing neurodivergent individuals to fit normative standards, neurodiversity-affirming advocates celebrate neurological differences as natural variations of the human experience. This approach fosters self-acceptance, empowerment, and genuine respect for neurodiversity, ensuring that all students receive the tailored support they need to thrive.
