Hi, I’m Maggie Cerria—a Maryland State Certified Special Educator and the founder of Family IEP Coach, LLC. With years of experience providing educational consulting services to elementary-aged students in public schools, I understand how challenging the IEP process can be for families, and I am here to help.
I created Family IEP Coach, LLC to empower families and provide them with IEP process guidance, ensuring they feel informed—not intimidated—throughout their special education advocacy journey. I believe every child deserves the right support, and every parent deserves to feel confident advocating for it.
You probably noticed a lemon in my logo. There’s a reason for that. In my classroom, the lemon has always stood for optimism, resilience, and the belief that we can face challenges with clarity and courage. It’s a small symbol, but one that reminds me—and now the families I work with—that even in uncertain moments, there’s always a way forward and a reason to stay hopeful.
Together, we can make sure your child gets the special education support they need to grow, thrive, and feel seen at school. I am committed to student advocacy, ensuring every child receives the education they deserve.
