NANCY CIULLO, Master IEP Coach®
SPECIAL EDUCATION ADVOCATE
I help parents navigate the special education journey—from
the first signs of developmental differences through Early
Intervention, and into the school years with IEPs.
Whether you're just starting services or deep into the IEP
process, I offer child-centered guidance, clear communication
strategies, and developmental insight to help you advocate
with confidence and clarity.
My approach is collaborative, neuroaffirming, and grounded in
each child’s strengths—because you are your child’s most
powerful advocate, and you don’t have to do it alone.
From First Concerns to Confident Advocacy
Support for Families Navigating Early Intervention and IEPs
Courage: I know how scary it can feel walking into that first IEP meeting—especially when your baby
is moving from early intervention to preschool. You want to say the right things, but the words don’t
always come. That’s where I come in. Together, we’ll get you ready to walk into those rooms with
your head held high and your voice steady—because you do have something to say, and it matters.
Collaboration: You shouldn’t have to do this alone. When parents and schools truly work together,
amazing things happen for kids. My goal is to help you go from feeling confused or overwhelmed to
feeling like a calm, confident teammate—someone who knows how to speak up and stay connected.
We can turn those tough moments into opportunities for real connection and progress.
Transformation: This isn’t just about learning the system—it’s about growing into the advocate your
child needs right now. You already have the love and the drive. I’ll help you find the clarity, the
strategy, and the strength to move from feeling lost to feeling empowered. Together, we’ll make
sure your child’s first big transition is one where you both feel seen, supported, and ready.
Courage + Collaboration = Transformation
transformation, not
just information
IMAGINE THIS...
reclaim your balance
This journey is about more than Early
Intervention—it’s about finding your
voice. Whether you’re just starting or
preparing for preschool after age 3, I’ll
help you go from overwhelmed to
empowered, with the tools to advocate
every step of the way.
BETTER SUPPORT,
BETTER OUTCOMES
From Early Intervention to preschool,
strong communication leads to better
support. When you collaborate with
educators, you reduce resistance, ease
behavior struggles, and set your child
up for long-term success.
I provide more than checklists—I offer
guidance through big transitions, like
moving from Early Intervention to
preschool. Together, we’ll turn
information into action so you feel
confident, prepared, and supported
every step of the way.

Smooth Transitions:
From Early Intervention to Preschool
Whether it's the first day of preschool, the leap to kindergarten, or moving up a grade,
these milestones often come with a mix of pride, excitement, and anxiety.
For parents of children with disabilities, these transitions can feel even more daunting.
Questions about making the right choices for your child intertwine with concerns specific
to their needs. The uncertainty is amplified when faced with an education system that
doesn't always feel welcoming or prepared.

Cheering You On,
Nancy
Hi, I’m Nancy, a Master IEP Coach® who helps parents of
neurodivergent children ages 3–12 go from feeling overwhelmed and
unsure about the transition from early intervention to preschool to
feeling informed, confident, and supported.
I know what it’s like to wonder what happens when your child turns
three, to feel the weight of decisions about IFSPs, IEPs, and everything
in between—and I don’t want you to go through this alone.
With over 20 years of experience working with young children and
families, and as an IEP aunt myself, I’ve sat in those meetings, asked
those same hard questions, and lived the emotions that come with
advocating for a child you love. That’s why I became a Master IEP
Coach®—to help families like yours find clarity, confidence, and a sense
of calm in the transition process.
Whether you’re preparing for your first transition meeting or figuring
out the next right step for your child, I’m here to help you feel seen,
supported, and ready for what’s ahead.

RECLAIM YOUR FAMILY TIME
AND YOUR PEACE
The transition from early intervention to preschool can
bring up so many emotions—uncertainty, overwhelm,
even fear. No more staying silent when your gut says
something’s off. You deserve to get the support you
need through this big change so that you can stop
worrying and start enjoying family moments again—
whether it’s cooking dinner, sharing a laugh during movie
night, or just being present with your child.
With the right guidance, advocating for your child
doesn’t have to take over your life. Let’s make sure the
IEP process works for you, so you can reclaim your
peace, your focus, and your time as a parent.

Kind words from clients...
Karen
9 Year Old Child
“Before working with Nancy, I didn’t know I
was considered an equal member of the IEP
team! She stressed how important it was for
me to express my concerns using the
parent input letter she helped me write and
send to the team. I feel like my voice was
finally heard.’
Kim
1 Year Old Child
"We’ve worked with Nancy since our daughter was 6
months old, and it's been an amazing experience.
Nancy’s care, creativity, and engaging activities have
helped Penny develop motor and language skills,
while celebrating every milestone. As parents, we’ve
gained confidence and learned valuable strategies to
support Penny’s growth. Penny is more curious,
playful, and independent thanks to Nancy's
guidance. We highly recommend her services!"
