Independent Facilitation & Advocacy
Supporting families through clarity, collaboration, and empowered decision-making.
At E & Co Inclusive Pathways Consulting, we guide families through the Self-Determination Program and special education systems with compassion, transparency, and a family-centered approach.
Our goal is to ensure you feel confident, informed, and supported every step of the way.
Person-Centered Planning (PCP)
Your PCP is the foundation of the Self-Determination Program. I work closely with you to understand strengths, needs, goals, preferences, and long-term visions.
Together, we create a meaningful, strengths-based PCP that:
Reflects your child’s unique identity and abilities
Highlights what’s working and what’s not
Defines clear goals and needed supports
Ensures the plan aligns with your family’s culture and values
This plan becomes your guide for services, budget decisions, and accountability.
Independent Facilitation
Navigating the Self-Determination Program can feel overwhelming. I support you through each step to ensure the process is clear, manageable, and empowering.
Independent Facilitation services include:
Helping you understand the SDP process
Supporting completion or updates of the PCP
Assisting with Spending Plan changes
Identifying services that align with your goals
Helping you choose, hire, and manage providers
Advocating for needed supports during meetings
Ongoing guidance as your needs evolve
You don’t have to figure this out alone — I’m here to help you build a pathway that truly works for your family.
Advocacy Support
Whether you're navigating school, Regional Center, or community services, you deserve someone who understands the system and stands in your corner.
Advocacy support may include:
Preparing for IEP, IFSP, or school meetings
Identifying gaps in services or supports
Reviewing reports, goals, or recommendations
Helping you communicate needs clearly
Clarifying your rights
Ensuring your child’s needs and strengths are centered
My advocacy is grounded in lived experience as a support-needs mom and clinical knowledge as a pediatric OT. I help families step into meetings feeling prepared, supported, and empowered.
