Here’s a “Why” statement for Johnson SPED Consulting Services framed from your perspective as a life coach: Why Johnson SPED Consulting Services Exists Johnson SPED Consulting Services exists because I believe every educator, parent, and student deserves support that sees the whole person—not just the role, the diagnosis, or the data. As a life coach and special education professional, I have watched dedicated teachers, families, and students carry enormous emotional and practical burdens: navigating complex IEPs, managing challenging behaviors, balancing school demands, and trying to make the “right” decisions with limited time and resources. Many of them are doing their best—but feeling overwhelmed, alone, or burned out. My “why” is to walk alongside them. I created Johnson SPED Consulting Services to: - Empower educators and parents with clarity, confidence, and practical tools so they can advocate effectively and calmly for students with learning, intellectual, and emotional needs. - Coach individuals and teams through the stress, conflict, and self-doubt that often accompany special education decisions, classroom challenges, and life transitions. - Support students and young adults in building self-awareness, self-advocacy, and resilience so they can see themselves as capable, valuable, and empowered—not defined by their disability label. - Bridge the gap between “what we know” and “what we actually do” by combining technical SPED expertise with mindset work, emotional support, and clear, action-oriented planning. At the heart of Johnson SPED Consulting Services is this belief: When the adults around a student feel grounded, supported, and clear, the student’s entire world changes. My mission as a SPED consultant is to help you move from confusion to clarity, from reactivity to intentional action, and from surviving to leading with purpose—so that every student can experience a more inclusive, dignified, and hopeful educational journey. ~Dr. L.

I would like to formally introduce my instructional coaching expertise through my business platform. Here's my Presentation that I had an opportunity to present to coaching staff in my district.

Hello! I would like to share a presentation I delivered to the Special Education Department in my school district that focused on Twice Exceptional (2e) Students. Enjoy!

Special education is not a one-size-fits-all approach. It’s individualized, intentional, and rooted in understanding each student’s unique strengths and needs.
