Serve children with disabilities better together with Exceptional Lives

When families and schools work together, Special Education students thrive. 

We’ve got tools to help families and schools build great relationships.

We all want Special Ed students to succeed. Communication and relationships between schools and families are complicated. We’re here to help.

Welcome to Exceptional Lives. For schools, we offer expert support and guidance to build strong connections with schools, families, and the community.

For families, we provide free services that offer clear guidance on accessing local, state, and federal resources. This helps families navigate school systems, communicate their needs, and understand their rights.

By bridging the gap between families and schools, we ensure every child receives the care, attention, and opportunities they deserve to thrive.

        Measuring success

        Our measures of success are straightforward but impactful:

          1. Happier teachers who stay in their jobs and focus on teaching.
          2. Families who trust and collaborate with school staff to support their children.
          3. Fewer IEP conflicts between families and schools.
          4. Clear communication that helps everyone get the information they need.

        Our approach leads to better outcomes for Special Education students – and their peers.

        Facilitating communication between families and schools

        We help schools communicate with families by providing templates (such as the IEP Welcome Kit) and hosting family training workshops. Our workshops cover topics on how to have successful IEP meetings and understanding the Special Education process. 

        Our goal is for families to easily understand how to help their child in this process.

        Building skills for staff and families

        We offer professional development to help educators support students with disabilities and communicate effectively with families. 

        Our workshops teach families how to better collaborate with schools in support of their children.

        Helping families navigate special education

        We are committed to helping families communicate with schools and understand their rights and responsibilities within the education system. With our training, resources, and guidance, families gain the confidence and knowledge to navigate Special Education and the services their children need.

      We care about your school's needs. Schedule a free consultation with us today!

  • Help your child succeed. Engage in their education with Exceptional Lives.

    Being involved in your child’s education takes effort and knowledge. It can be scary if you don’t know where to start – and complicated even if you are already involved. 

    But your involvement is so important to your child’s success. And we want you to have the tools and resources you need to collaborate with the school and support your child.  

    Our free blogs, podcasts, and information hubs give families a head start on knowledge you need to help your children thrive. 

    Whether you need help navigating a new diagnosis or making plans for your child to transition to adulthood, we’ve got it covered – in English and en español.
