Welcome to Water Prairie:
Empowering Families, Celebrating Uniqueness
Parenting a child with unique needs can feel like navigating uncharted waters. I understand. My own journey, filled with both challenges and triumphs, inspired the creation of Water Prairie. I’ve evolved from sharing my experiences through the “Water Prairie Chronicles” podcast to building a comprehensive resource for families like yours.
What Water Prairie Offers:
- IEP Coaching: Navigating the Individualized Education Program (IEP) process can be overwhelming. We provide personalized coaching to empower you to advocate effectively for your child’s educational needs.

Listen to the podcast on your favorite platform or watch the video version on our YouTube channel. We also provide special education news updates and answer parent questions.
