30 Years
Helping students with disabilities in every grade, from early childhood through high school.
About
Hi, I'm Jenny Thompson, M.Ed.
30 years helping students with disabilities — across all grades, all 13 IDEA categories, and 5 states.
"For 30 years, I've helped students with disabilities succeed across every grade level and all 13 IDEA disability categories. Today, I help families understand IEPs, support educators through professional development, and create practical solutions that improve student outcomes."
Why families work with me
- Find out what options exist beyond what has been proposed
- Review IEPs and evaluations with an experienced educator's eye
- Prepare questions and wording before the meeting
- Have a calm, knowledgeable consultant beside you at the meeting
How I work with schools
For schools and districts, I provide professional learning on IEP quality, accommodations, transition, and responsible AI. Learn more about working with schools →
Today I focus on what works in the real world: practical professional development for educators and responsible AI training for special educators. The goal is always the same: improving student outcomes through better IEPs and accessible learning.
