💚 Hi! I’m Katie Furney, Education Consultant and former Special Education Teacher based in Northern Virginia.
Here, I share guidance, strategies, and real-world insights to help families navigate IEPs, 504 Plans, and school collaboration with clarity and confidence.

Whether you’re just starting to suspect your child may need support, preparing for your first IEP meeting, or trying to make an existing plan work better — you’re in the right place.

And If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by paperwork or unsure how to speak up, this channel will remind you: you’re not alone, and you can do this.
