For Shreveport families
When the IEP process feels overwhelming
If your child has an IEP or 504 plan, or you think they need one, you already know how much paperwork and school language there is. Many Shreveport families feel unprepared at IEP meetings, unsure what to ask for, or stuck when a school says no to testing, tutoring, therapy, or other support.
That is more common than you think. You are advocating for your child while the school uses terms like FAPE, LRE, and present levels. Whether your child attends school in Shreveport or a nearby Louisiana district, you deserve a clear plan and someone who can explain your options in plain English.

What is the difference between an IEP advocate and a special education attorney in Louisiana?
