Navigating the special education process can be stressful and confusing, but it doesn't have to be! Our new membership "The IEP Membership" has officially launched and there is still time to join for our live monthly Q&A call this month on August 27th to get your questions answered by Katie Jackson/Educational Consultant and Advocate.
Join The IEP Membership now and get the hands-on support and easy to use resources to go from feeling overwhelmed, frustrated and wanting change (but not knowing how) to confident and empowered with clarity and direction on how to navigate special education services (the IEP process) to ensure your child has a meaningful educational opportunity.

We have an exciting update and opportunity to share! 🥳
At Northwest Neurodevelopment Center, we are passionate about empowering and supporting parents of students experiencing disabilities to advocate for their child while navigating special education services (the IEP process).
We have heard from our community and clients for a long time. “How can we go deeper with understanding the IEP process?” and “How can we stay connected?” or “Is there a way to stay connected after our work together?”
💕We know the best way to help and support parents is on an ongoing basis, month after month.
That is why we are planning on launching a new membership site that does exactly that. We will be launching it on July 10th, 2024, and cannot wait to get started! Our initial idea for a title of this membership is “The IEP Membership”.
Inspired
Empowered
Parents
We want this to be an incredible and empowering experience for our IEP Membership Members. Our team at Northwest Neurodevelopment Center is committed to building a membership that helps parents of students experiencing disabilities go from feeling overwhelmed, frustrated and wanting change (but not knowing how) to confident and empowered with clarity and direction on how to navigate special education services (the IEP process).
For the next 3 days, if you are a parent of a student experiencing disabilities who wants support to help navigate and understand special education services (the IEP process), we would like to invite you to join us on this journey and become a founding member of The IEP Membership.
Currently, this membership is still in the conceptual stages.
It’s not perfect (yet) and there are many things we still need to work out.
We have the vision and that’s why we would love to extend an early invitation to you. We want you to be part of this journey, especially if you’re willing to help us shape this idea.
If you join as a founding member and you’re willing to help contribute ideas on how we can make this THE best place to support parents of students experiencing disabilities, we would like to offer you a special “founding member” price.
When this offer is extended to the general public, we anticipate the starting price to be around $47 per month, or $470 per year.
If you join us today as a founding member, your price will be $40 per month, or $400 per year if you choose an annual plan (which gives you a discount of 2 months free). Plus you’ll be locked into that founding member price for as long as you remain a member.
So when we roll this out to the general public at a higher price, your price will always be the founding member price.
Remember, all the details for this are not finalized yet for this membership. Nothing has officially been created. We expect some of the best ideas will come from you and others who join as a founding member.
We are only offering this founding member opportunity for the next 3 days, and will never offer this price for this membership again.
The goal is to officially launch this on July 10, 2024.
Between now and then, we will communicate with you on a weekly basis, asking for your input, offering updates and behind the scenes looks into the implementation. You’ll get to play a part in building this membership from the ground up.
So, if you’d like to join us in this….Just send us a direct message telling us you are interested by Friday June 28, 2024, 11pm PDT and we will send all the details to you.
As a Founding Member, you will get:
⭐️A early price of $40/mo or $400/year that will stay locked in for as long as you’re a member (when we launch officially, that price will go up to $47/mo or $470/year)
⭐️The opportunity to help us shape this membership into something that will be incredible and empowering for your journey navigating special education services
🫶 We are thankful for this community and your support, and we can’t wait to have you as a founding member on this journey with us!
❤️ Katie and the Northwest Neurodevelopment Center Team ❤️
