Not Sure Where to Start?

Not Sure Where to Start with Your Child’s IEP or 504 Plan? Let’s Talk.

Feeling Overwhelmed by Special Education Paperwork? You’re Not Alone.

If you’re reading this and wondering:

  • Is my child’s IEP actually helping them?

  • Am I missing something important in their 504 Plan?

  • How do I even begin to advocate for what my child needs?

You’re in the right place.

Hi, I’m Dominique, founder of Whole Child Advocacy—and I want to start with the most important thing I can offer you right now:

Let’s just talk. No pressure. No judgment. Just clarity and next steps.


Why Parents Reach Out

Most of the families I work with aren’t even sure what they need at first. They just know something feels off—their child is struggling, the school isn’t following through, or the paperwork feels like a foreign language.

When we start with a consultation, we talk about things like:

  • Your child’s diagnosis and current school experience

  • What’s working—and what’s not

  • Any past evaluations, IEPs, or 504 Plans

  • Your biggest concerns moving forward

From there, I help you determine if a full IEP/504 review, school meeting support, or tutoring services would be the best next step.


What You’ll Need for the Call

You don’t need to bring anything fancy to the consultation. If you have documents handy (like your child’s IEP or most recent evaluation), that’s helpful—but not required.

I offer a safe, supportive space to:

  • Ask questions

  • Share frustrations

  • Learn what your rights and options are

  • Build a path forward together


Services I Can Walk You Through

Here’s a quick snapshot of how I support families in The Woodlands, Spring, Conroe, Magnolia, and beyond:

IEP/504 Document Review – I analyze goals, services, and accommodations and flag red flags or inconsistencies
ARD Meeting Support – I prepare you for meetings or attend them with you to advocate professionally
Parent Training & Coaching – I teach you how to confidently navigate the special education system
Specialized Tutoring – Our tutors are trained in special education and tailor sessions to your child’s IEP or learning goals


Ready to Take That First Step?

You don’t need to have everything figured out. You just need a starting point—and someone to walk with you.

That’s what Whole Child Advocacy is here for.
