About Me – A. Reneé | The IEP Files

It all began with my son, a binder full of paperwork, and a school system that didn’t see him.

I didn’t ask to become an advocate. But like so many parents, I found myself fighting for services, decoding legal jargon, chasing school emails, and trying to be calm while holding back tears.

What started as survival turned into purpose.

Today, I’m the founder of The IEP Files, a parent-led consulting service created to support families navigating the special education system. I combine lived experience, professional strategy, and real-world tools to help you advocate for your child — with confidence and receipts.

💙 My Promise

I believe you shouldn’t have to break the bank to advocate for your child. I’m here to help you make sense of the chaos, protect your peace, and take action — on your terms.

You don’t have to be perfect. You just have to keep showing up. I’ll walk with you every step of the way.
