For special education professionals who'd rather not do this alone.

Teachers, admins, therapists, or any special education professional who craves to start creating income from home.

You've been brainstorming how to turn your IEP experience into extra income.

You know you need a website, social media, and clients, but you don't want to feel salesy.

You're ready, but a little voice keeps (over)thinking and stopping you from making it happen.

HOW IT WORKS

Choose the path I've built, or build your own.

The options to create income with your Special Education experience are endless.

PATH ONE

The path I've built.


Learn to start an IEP coaching business step by step with starter kits inside the Master IEP Coach® certificate program. You'll get my exact tools I used with clients to build a six figure business from home. 

PATH TWO

Your own path.


Create an online course, a membership, start consulting, or get paid to deliver workshops. I've done them all and I'll help you! If I don't already have the resource you need to get your business going, I'll make it for you.

OR BOTH

Both.


You actually don't have to choose a path. You can have both! Become a Master IEP Coach® and bring your own ideas to life, too. Your community needs your special education experience, let's make it happen!

WHAT'S INSIDE

Here's what you gain access to. 

MENTORSHIP

2 Live Hours, Every Month.


You bring the thing you are stuck on and I answer it out loud. Tech help, social media strategies, pricing, finding clients. All coaching calls are recorded for you to watch anytime. 

MONTHLY REPORT

What's working right now.


Every month I share the tools, the tweaks, the pricing calls, the thing I tried that nobody saw. And don't worry, I share the flops too. Learning from my mistakes will often save you from making yours.

FIRST ACCESS 

Build with me.


I'm not done building my business. I'm not a guru speaking from "been there, done that". I've done it and I'm still doing it. When I build things for my own business, you can have them, too!

CERTIFICATE

Master IEP Coach®


Yes! You can call yourself a Master IEP Coach® when you finish the certificate program. It's 15 hours, ready inside your library, go at your own pace. I'll help you every step of the way!

KITS & GUIDEBOOKS

No guesswork. 


Immediate access to your very own IEP Coaching Business Starter Kit, the Website Kit, the Speaker Kit, IEP coaching tools and I'll show you how to use AI to support you without overwhelm.

ASK ME ANYTHING

No questions is too silly.


The littlest questions can sometimes be the biggest roadblocks to getting your business up and running. You'll have a space to ask me anything, anytime and get honest answers.

BONUS GIFTS

Master IEP Coach® Swag & Status


After your first 90 days in the community, I'll mail you a gift of Master IEP Coach® swag and you'll have the status to be listed in our Master IEP Coach® directory... it's searched by parents & schools everyday!

BYOI: bring your own ideas ↓

YOUR DREAMS, YOUR WAY

Bring the idea that's on your heart.

I've got two special education degrees and I've been a solopreneur for 30 years. I've never had just one income stream and not all my income streams are about special education. 

Right now, I'm building a Whatnot shop, coaching Christian women in my community, and I've been a part of an MLM for 20 years.
Weird? Yep. Fun? Absolutely.

I've taught myself every new thing along the way, and I'll help you figure out which of your idea fits you and your season of life, right now.
And, then you'll get started building it!

YOUR UNIQUE IDEAS ARE YOUR SECRET SAUCE

A LITTLE ABOUT ME

I can help because I've been there.

you got this!

Decades ago, I was overwhelmed and exhausted. I was craving to help more families, but I didn't know how to find more clients and take care of my own family, as a single mom, without burning out.

I've done both. I built an IEP coaching business, and I've built other income streams too. So I can help you walk the path I built, or find the one that's right for you.

I had my first IEP client in 1996, my first year of teaching. I have two special education degrees, and I'm the founder of Master IEP Coach®. I've spoken at national teacher conferences, at schools and at parent disability conferences, always by invitation.

Catherine

STILL DECIDING?

Questions, answered.

What if I don't know which path is right for me?

That's what I'm here for. [Your answer: how you help members choose a path.]

How much money can I make?

[Your honest answer. I can't promise income, so share what you did and what to expect.]

I'm a teacher. Can I really do this?

[Your answer.]

How do I find clients?

[Your answer. Point to the Starter Kit and the community.]

How many hours does this take?

As much as your schedule allows. The calls are twice a month, the community is open 24/7, and the certificate program is self-paced.

Do I have to work in special education?

This community is built for special education professionals. [DECIDE: who else is welcome, if anyone.]

Is the certificate a separate course?

No. It's a self-paced program inside the membership, about 15 hours.

What if what I need isn't inside?

Tell me. If the library doesn't have it, I create it.

Can I join if I'm still working in a school?

Members come from every stage. I teach a collaborative approach and leave state complaints and due process out of it. I can't promise anything about anyone's job, so check what your district requires. [CONFIRM wording]

What if I cancel?

You can cancel anytime. Your access ends when your membership does.

GOT QUESTIONS?

Text me. Or email me.

Yes, that's my actual phone number: 815-302-1273. I keep my phone on Do Not Disturb most of the time, so text me at 2am if you want. I'll answer over my morning coffee.
