Massachusetts-First · Useful in Every State

Each one deserves a parent who knows their rights

A barrier no family should face alone

At due process hearings — a right most parents don’t know they have

Our materials are built on 603 CMR 28.00, the BSEA process, and the Massachusetts effective progress standard — detail most national resources leave out entirely.

Educational advocacy guidance, never legal advice. You will always know where that line is — and when what you need is an attorney instead.

Professionally designed, fillable PDF toolkits for 504 Plan Prep, Evaluation Requests, and IEP Meeting Prep — each 10 pages, with over 130 fillable fields you can type into and save.

Plain-English summaries of your rights under IDEA, Section 504, and Massachusetts 603 CMR 28.00 — so you walk into every meeting informed.

Type directly into your toolkit, save it, and bring it to the meeting. Your notes stay in the file — nothing to re-copy by hand.

Cynthia is your first call. With over 45 years of experience in Massachusetts special education — as a teacher, Special Education Supervisor, Executive Director, and independent advocate — she brings a depth of knowledge that no app can replicate.

“When it’s about fighting, it becomes about winning and not about your child’s needs. Stay focused on your child!”

— Cynthia P. DeAngelis, M.Ed.

1

The Free Resources page has plain-English summaries of your rights, a pre-meeting checklist, and a glossary. No account, no purchase, no email required. Start there.

2

Pick the toolkit that matches where you are — requesting an evaluation, preparing for a 504 meeting, or heading into an annual IEP review.

3

Use a toolkit or the IEP Document Review to organize your thinking before your next team meeting — know your questions, know your rights, walk in prepared.

Choose any 1 of 3 fillable PDF toolkits — 504 Plan Prep, Evaluation Request, or IEP Meeting Prep. Each is 10 pages and fully fillable.

504 Plan Prep + Evaluation Request + IEP Meeting Prep — all 3 fillable PDF toolkits for every stage of the special education process.

Send your child’s current IEP and it will be reviewed personally. You will receive a written preparation memo covering what the document actually commits the district to, where goals are weak or unmeasurable, which services are too vague to enforce, and the specific questions to ask at your next meeting.
