What We Do
Support that understands the system your family is up against
Two services. Individualized virtual tutoring built around your child’s IEP, and professional consultation before you face the team.
- SPED Tutoring
- IEP Goal Support
- Study Skills & Test Prep
- IEP Advocacy
- PLP Analysis
- Meeting Preparation
Our Approach
Every session is individualized around the specific goals and areas of need written into your child’s IEP.
Our Promise
You will understand the language, the procedures, and the expectations before you walk into that meeting.
Our Purpose
Parents deserve to be prepared. Being prepared is what changes the outcome of an IEP meeting.
Most Parents Are Not Told How Any Of This Actually Works
The terminology, the procedures, the strategies, the challenges. I understand them because I worked inside the system. That knowledge is what I bring to your family’s situation.
Our Services
Tutoring that targets the IEP, consultation that prepares the parent
Both services are delivered virtually and priced by the hour, with no packages and no minimum commitment. Most families begin with whichever need is more urgent and add the second later.

Why It Matters
Preparation is what changes how an IEP meeting goes
Families walk into these meetings without knowing the terminology, the procedures, or what they are entitled to ask for. The team on the other side knows all three. Closing that gap is the single most useful thing a parent can do before the date arrives.
Tutoring targets the goals already written into your child's document.
Sessions run online, so location is never the limiting factor.
“Blackballed to Breakout provided thoughtful, personalized support for my child’s learning needs. The step-by-step instruction and focus on specific IEP goals helped make the educational process much clearer and more manageable for our family.”

Why Choose Us
Why families choose Blackballed to Breakout
Most advocates learned the system from the outside. I administered it, and that changes what I can see.

FAQS
Frequently Asked Questions
The questions parents ask most often before a first call. Anything not answered here, just ask.
Preparing you for the meeting. That means reviewing the goals and Present Levels of Performance, checking whether the proposed services address the identified needs, and helping you develop the questions and concerns to bring to the team.
All tutoring and consultation is delivered virtually. That keeps the support available to families regardless of location, and it means sessions can be scheduled around work and school without anyone needing to account for travel time.
Tutoring and academic support is $125 per hour. IEP advocacy and consultation is $150 per hour. Both are billed hourly with no package requirement, so you book only the hours your situation actually calls for.
The core service is preparation and consultation — making sure you walk in understanding the language, the procedures, and what to ask for. Discuss your specific meeting on the first call and we will work out what support fits.
Yes. Understanding the process, the terminology, and what the school is required to consider matters enormously at the earliest stage, often more than parents expect. That is exactly the kind of preparation consultation is for.
