HI! I'M DESTINY
YOUR IEP COACH & SPECIAL EDUCATION CONSULTANT
I've been in the Mental Health field professionally for 15 years. As a Licensed Mental Health Professional, I had the opportunity to work in both the school and early child hood education settings over the course of my career.
​
Working side by side with educators, instructional coaches, trainers, and administrators I was able to see first hand what is needed for neurodivergent children in their educational setting and what trainings and supports are necessary for staff to support neurodivergent children in their educational setting.
​
When my son entered in to the public school system I gained first hand knowledge of the importance of an IEP team that communicates and collaborates and the importance of advocating for neurodivergent children.
​
I'm a mother of two children on IEPs, neurodivergent, have completed the Master IEP Coach Mentorship Program, I am a proud member of the COPAA and CEC and I can't wait to support you through your IEP journey!

Here's to Not Doing It Alone,
