Created by a Special Education Director with a Ph.D. in Special Education and 32 years in public schools — working with schools, side by side.
Same Team is built on one person's career: a current district Director of Special Education with a Ph.D. in Special Education and 32 years in public schools. She has written and approved thousands of IEPs — so she knows exactly what helps a district say yes. That's the difference: not peer advice from a forum, but a real expert in your corner.
Same Team was built by a district special education leader who deeply respects teachers. Our whole purpose is to help parents and educators work together — communicate clearly, prepare well, and reach the right plan for the child, with the relationship intact. Parents and educators, side by side. Everyone on the same team.
Special education is a legal process wearing an educational costume. Parents are expected to be equal partners — yet walk in outnumbered and unsure what to ask. That knowledge gap is exactly what we close.
Ready-to-send letters and worksheets that create a documented request the school has to answer.
Ask any time and get a plain-language answer built only from Dr. Long's knowledge — never the open internet. When it is not sure, it says so.
Upload your child's IEP. The reader shows you what is in it and what to ask the team about. Premium adds Dr. Long's personal review.
Because a free chatbot answers from the entire internet — and can be confidently wrong about IEPs and 504s. Dr. Long's Assistant pulls from one place only: the knowledge Dr. Long built from 32 years in public education.
Answers from the whole internet. Guesses at the law. No template, no human, no idea who your child is.
Only Dr. Long's vetted knowledge. Built on 32 years of real IEP decisions. Hands you the exact template — or a real person.
Excellent, but $300–800 for a single IEP meeting and hard to reach. A much bigger check each season.
Three steps to walking in prepared instead of overwhelmed.
An evaluation, an upcoming meeting, a denied service — start where you are.
Guided steps, the exact template, and answers to your questions — on your schedule.
Prepared, documented, and confident — working with the school toward what your child needs.
“The best IEP meetings are the ones where parents and schools come to the table as partners, listen to one another, and work together to find the right path forward for the child.”
Each one takes what you already have — a few numbers, your notes, or your child's IEP — and tells you something specific to say or do. They cover everything from the evaluation deadline to whether a suspension crossed the line that changes your child's rights. No login, nothing to upload.
