What’s the Process Like?

Every child’s situation is unique, and every family has different needs. Here’s how we can work together:

​

  • Start with a Free Consultation: We’ll begin with a 15-minute consultation to discuss your child’s needs and explore how I can support you.

  • Receive a Personalized Plan: At the end of our conversation, I’ll provide a clear plan outlining how I can help and the next steps.

  • Work Together for Success: Once you’re ready to proceed, we’ll collaborate to ensure your child receives the education and support they deserve.

What does it Cost?

With every family having different needs we’ve kept our pricing consistent and straightforward to make things easier for everyone:

​

  • The initial meeting is billed at a discounted rate of $75 for an hour

  • All subsequent services are billed at $100 per hour.​ This includes reviewing educational records, writing and reviewing district correspondence, attending meetings, one-to-one coaching, and any other services necessary

  • An additional $0.50 per mile will be charged for all travel to and from meetings outside of a 30-mile radius from the EmpowerEd Families office in Franklin, MA. Meetings can be attended virtually for no additional charge.
