Frequently asked questions

You've got questions. We've got answers.

1. Is this course right for me if I’m new to the IEP process—or if my child already has an IEP?

Yes. The Crystal Clear IEP Course is designed for parents at every stage. If you are new to special education, it will help you understand the terminology, your parental rights, and what to expect. If your child already has an IEP, the course can help you review it more thoughtfully, recognize areas that may need attention, and participate more confidently in future meetings.

Lessons are presented in clear, parent-friendly language, so you do not need legal, educational, or advocacy experience to benefit.

2. Why should I purchase the course when free IEP information is available online?

Free information can be helpful, but it is often scattered, overly technical, or difficult to apply to your child's situation. The Crystal Clear IEP Course organizes the most meaningful information into one practical, easy-to-follow learning experience.

You will receive a parent-friendly manual, approximately two hours of focused video instruction, and bonus audio lessons you can listen to on the go. The course is informed by Crystal's 20+years as an SLP, 10 years as a special education and neurodiversity consultant, and lived experience as a parent.

Instead of spending hours trying to determine what information is reliable or relevant, you will have a clear roadmap for preparing, asking informed questions, and participating as an important member of your child's IEP team.

3. What if I’m busy, overwhelmed, or worried that the course will be difficult to understand?

The course was created with busy parents in mind. The videos are divided into short, manageable lessons, so you can complete one topic at a time instead of sitting through a lengthy training. The audio lessons offer another convenient way to learn while driving, walking, or completing everyday tasks, and the worksheets help you apply what you learn directly to your child's IEP.

You can move at your own pace and revisit material whenever you need a refresher. The goal is not to turn you into an attorney or professional advocate--it is to help you feel informed, prepared, and empowered when making educational decisions for your child.

4. What is your refund policy?

If you are not completely satisfied with your investment within the first 30 days of purchase, we will provide you with a 100% refund. After 30 days, we assume that you have found the course valuable and no refunds will be provided.

5. Do you guarantee results if I complete the course?

Crystal has empowered parents with IEP content over the past decade with amazing results reported in their individual situations.

However, we can not guarantee that your results will be the same.

The Crystal Clear IEP course provides general educational information and is not legal advice, individualized advocacy, or a substitute for advice from a qualified professional with specific knowledge about your case. Special education requirements and procedures may vary from state to state and are subject to change.
