Special Education Advocate + Author
Meet Lisa Lightner
Since 2010, I’ve supported families as a Special Education Advocate, helping parents navigate the IEP and 504 process with more confidence.
The resources here also reflect the insight of advocates, teachers, attorneys, and professionals who contribute their expertise. More about me.
Jennie B.
“I can’t thank you enough for this. My son had a behavior plan, they kept adding to it, changing it, but calling me all the time to come get him. Once the suspensions started, I knew that I had to fix this but didn’t know where to start. He had a BIP for two years and behaviors increased. After doing this for a few months, I realized the FBA data didn’t actually support the interventions, or him, really. He got a new FBA, we rewrote BIP, the phone calls and suspensions stopped, finally. And, he’s happier. This was affordable and just what we needed.“
