IEP Advocacy & Family Support Services
Bridging the Gap Between Families & Schools
At Braxy Speech Therapy, we understand how overwhelming the special education process can be. Our goal is to empower families with knowledge, support, and confidence while fostering a collaborative relationship with schools. Whether you need an advocate by your side or guidance to navigate the process independently, we’re here to help.
When school staff hears that Braxy Speech Therapy is attending an IEP meeting, we want their reaction to be: “Thank goodness it’s her!” – because we prioritize teamwork, collaboration, and student success.
