Finding Solutions for Your Child Shouldn’t Be Stressful

When it comes to special needs children, there seems to be a plethora of terms and countless articles that do not provide you with value. With all sorts of “solutions” out there, it’s difficult for parents to find the best thing to do to help their child grow and succeed.

Too Many Options

Navigating the sea of therapies, educational plans, and expert advice for special needs children can feel overwhelming. Every child is unique, and what works for one may not work for another. We understand the challenge of sifting through endless options to find a tailored approach that truly benefits your child.

Doesn’t Fit Lifestyle

Embracing a program or therapy that aligns with your family's routine and values is crucial. Many solutions require a level of commitment and lifestyle adjustment that isn't feasible for every family. Our focus is on providing adaptable strategies that integrate seamlessly into your daily life, ensuring both you and your child experience a positive, stress-free journey.

Time Wasted

The journey to find the right support for your child can be time-consuming, often involving trial and error. We aim to streamline this process by offering evidence-based, effective solutions that respect your time. Our goal is to eliminate the guesswork, providing you with immediate, actionable strategies that bring visible progress.

Doesn’t Fit Budget

Financial constraints should not prevent your child from receiving the best possible support. We're committed to offering cost-effective solutions without compromising on quality. Our services are designed to be accessible, ensuring you receive value and real results within your budget.

This doesn't have to be you though. The Parenting Cipher has given hundreds of parents of color the help necessary to provide the proper educational strategy to their children.

Here's How It Works

STEP 1

Initial Consultation and Assessment
The first step in the process is to schedule an initial consultation with our team at EnvisionED. During this session, we will have an in-depth discussion with the customer to understand their specific needs and goals for their special needs child. We will assess the child's educational background, challenges, and aspirations. This consultation will help us tailor our strategy sessions and membership to their unique requirements.

STEP 2

Customized Strategy Session and Action Plan
Based on the information gathered during the initial consultation, our team will design a customized strategy session and action plan for the customer. This plan will outline the specific areas of focus, such as school selection, advocacy, individualized education plans (IEPs), and assistive technologies. The strategy session will provide expert guidance, practical tools, and resources to empower the customer to navigate the educational landscape effectively.

STEP 3

Implementation and Support
Once the strategy session and action plan are finalized, we will provide ongoing support to the customer. Our team will assist them in implementing the strategies and recommendations discussed during the session. We will offer guidance on communicating with schools, collaborating with educators, and accessing necessary resources. Through regular check-ins, we will ensure that the customer is progressing towards their goals and provide additional support as needed.

STEP 4

Membership and Continued Education
After completing the strategy session, customers have the option to join our membership program, which provides access to a range of additional benefits. Membership includes participation in interactive workshops, webinars, and online forums where they can continue learning and connecting with other parents in similar situations. The membership also grants access to updated resources, the latest research in special education, and ongoing support from our team of experts.
