our platform
built for you. made by us.
SpEd Connect is a one-of-a-kind platform that connects parents and guardians of children and adults who have been diagnosed with disabilities with resources, tools, advocates, information, and most importantly — each other. It’s our mission to connect you with other parents who wear your shoes, having similar circumstances and similar struggles. It’s our purpose to help you navigate the myriad of roadblocks that stand between your child’s success and happiness in both school and life.
SpEd Connect is a web-based platform that is changing the culture for special needs families. It helps parents navigate their way from the initial diagnosis of their child all the way through adulthood. It is a place for parents to engage and become empowered. Here, parents can lock arms with like-minded parents, experts, and master teachers. We are a parent community, with tools to create change.
Our platform is filled with information, tools, and resources for you and your child(ren) to live your best lives.
Take a peek below at just a few features that we have to offer.
supportive Community +
conversation
You can step out of hiding and come together with parents who are experiencing the same challenges that you are. You can now ask questions without shame, and find love and support without judgment.
With topics and forums specific to age ranges, diagnoses, geographical region (as it applies to districts or state laws), and more — you can find answers and find faith in your future path by utilizing the support and guidance from others who have paved the way.
We are bridging the gap of thousands of individual Facebook pages, state and city lines, and mother-to-mother phone calls to bring everyone here. We are as strong as we are united.
tools that will
change your life
We know the sea of endless paperwork, sticky notes, “to do” tasks, meeting notes, forms, deadlines, medical records, and the list goes on and on… that you are managing. We have seen endless parents with boxes and boxes of documentation, spending hours working to scan and share files with lawyers and other providers when required. It’s nothing short of a nightmare.
Our first-of-its-kind IEP tool gives you the ability to store all of your children’s IEP documents in one place, keeping track of meeting recordings and notes, legal and/or advocate consultations, and more. No more searching through boxes and files of unorganized paperwork. You can organize, share, send, print, and access anything and everything at the drop of a dime.
resources + Access to experts on your side
We know it takes a highly-trained team to understand what’s going on in the world of Special Education at all times; we know because we’ve built one. How this system expects parents to manage this on their own is appalling…
As a content-focused community at our core, we will provide you with law updates and “plain English” interpretations for you and your family. You will have access to an entire directory of professional advocates and resources, along with continual webinars, tips, and classes to make sure you feel educated, prepared, and ready to support your child(ren) through this journey.
our first supporters will receive testing access, open feedback gathering, and heavy discounts on our subscription offering — sign up below if you’d like to be on the list!
