Oh nothing, just ripping through poorly written IEPs, you?

Aside from building a business from scratch to meet the needs of parents screaming for help and access in East Limestone, I spend way too much time helping parents find their voice and intuitions when advocating for their kids at school.

I'm available for hire, but I don't gatekeep information. We have a network of wonderful advocates in the area, and we have a ton of upcoming FREE events to help parents navigate this world.

I suggest everyone check out Spectrum Moms and Seeds of Hope North Alabama (on Facebook). They have free resources for parents, including workshops where advocates come in and advise whole groups on parent rights. I'm doing a few this year for these organizations.

Things I've learned: parents are afraid of being a squeaky wheel, want to be liked by school personnel, teachers aren't always prepared for the nuances of IEPs, school administrators rarely have SPED experience at all, and special education coordinators aren't always aware until they're informed. It takes a village, all around, but I'm here, our village is here, and we are ready to help!

Following up with our update for full-day options:

If you've completed our waitlist form, and are still interested in enrolling in Wildling Summer Camp (location TBD while we finalize, but for the sake of planning, close to Madison Public Library) on Hughes Road, Madison, please submit this brief Summer Camp registration to secure your spot in your preferred group for consideration.

If you are accepted into the group/days/times you prefer for your kiddo, final prices/discounts will be offered and you will be given a formal registration form in the future to secure your spot.

https://forms.gle/jV848kGJ17QVouEs6

Reminder- please complete the waitlist form if you haven't- because it contains the need/diagnosis/age information we need to play groups/adults support/ safety regulations. This form will serve as a formal interest in summer camp with the options we currently have.

Registration Inquiry While working with DHR to see how long we can keep children at a time, please fill out this form to help us plan. While we hope to have full-day options for you, right now we have to plan as if we do not. We have your information from the waitlist, but if you have not submitted....

Summer Camp Updates:
Basically- we have spent countless hours trying to reach DHR to get guidelines for our clinic.

I hate leaving parents in the open, but here's where were are: if kids stay more than 4 hours at a time, we will likely need to be DHR child care certified. (Which, we'd pass beautifully, but it, in itself, takes more time than we have for summer). And it's a whole other beast.

Something for sure:
1. We will have summer camp. It will likely be in under 4 hour groupings (morning/afternoon groups) until we get more clarity.

2. Kids who receive ABA services or Speech services in the summer during summer camp could likely stay longer, as a majority of their time with us will be under therapeutic treatments.

3. I'm working tirelessly to get answers, so we can answer our waitlisted parents, so we can hire all of the applicants in our inbox, and answer all of your messages.
