You Deserve to Walk Into Every
Meeting Prepared.
SupportMyIEP combines deep Massachusetts special education expertise with practical, parent-friendly tools — grounded in federal IDEA and Section 504 law, so parents anywhere have the tools, the language, and the confidence to advocate effectively for their child.
Your Expert Advocate
Meet Cynthia P. DeAngelis, M.Ed.
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.
She has worked inside school systems, chaired hundreds of IEP Team meetings, supervised out-of-district placements, and now works exclusively on behalf of families. She knows how schools think — and how to help parents navigate that system effectively.
“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.

What You Will Learn
The Knowledge That Changes Everything
Most parents walk into IEP and 504 meetings not knowing what they do not know. SupportMyIEP closes that gap — so you can participate as an equal partner in your child’s education, not as a bystander.
Our Team
Built by Advocates, for Families
SupportMyIEP is built and maintained by a team of Massachusetts-trained special education advocates with experience in IEP meetings, 504 planning, evaluation disputes, and BSEA proceedings. Our tools are grounded in federal IDEA and Section 504 law and reflect the stronger protections — one of the most parent-protective special education frameworks in the country.
We are non-attorney advocates. We provide educational advocacy guidance, not legal advice. For legal representation, please consult a qualified special education attorney.
Getting Started
How to Use SupportMyIEP
You do not need to be an expert to get started. Follow these 3 steps, and you will be better prepared than most parents who walk into IEP and 504 meetings.
1
Download a Toolkit
Visit the Toolkits page and download the guide that matches your situation — the 504 Plan Prep Toolkit, the Evaluation Request Toolkit, or the IEP Meeting Prep Toolkit. Print it, fill in the blanks, and use it as your roadmap.
2
Prepare for Your Meeting
Use the toolkit’s meeting prep section. Write down your child’s name, current services, and your top 3 concerns. Arrive knowing your rights and your questions.
3
Book a Consultation When You Need a Human
When your situation is complex — a disagreement with the school, a denied evaluation, a placement dispute — book a 60-minute consultation with Cynthia. She will review your child’s situation, explain your options, and help you decide on the next steps. This is educational advocacy guidance, not legal advice.
