Individual Education Plan (IEP) Consulting & Workshops
Navigating the educational system can be a complex process for families. In addition to clinical therapy, Victoria Stockton provides specialized consulting for Individualized Education Plans (IEPs) and educational workshops designed to support students, parents, and educators.
Individualized Education Plan (IEP) Consulting
When a child requires specialized support within a school setting, the IEP process ensures their unique learning needs are met. Victoria serves as a professional advocate, providing clinical expertise during school-based meetings to represent the child's specific communication and feeding requirements.
As a qualified member of the collaborative team—which may include teachers, therapists, learning specialists, and guidance counselors—Victoria assists in several key areas:
Goal Development: Working with the school team to establish specific, measurable, and achievable learning objectives tailored to the child's current performance.
Classroom Accommodations: Identifying and facilitating necessary modifications to the learning environment or curriculum to improve the child's access to education.
Results Interpretation: Helping parents understand and interpret the assessments and recommendations provided by the school district.
Professional Documentation: Victoria provides a comprehensive, written speech-language analysis. This report is a credited clinical document that can be officially added to the child’s educational file to inform their plan of care.
"I have a 7-year-old son with Down Syndrome. When my son started school, a major concern was his speech. I started searching for an out- side speech therapist. Luckily, we found Victoria. In a very short time she helped get my son back on track. I knew my son best – his personality, what motivated him, and Victoria listened and tailored his therapy appropriately.
Victoria is a big part of our IEP process; attending meetings with us, providing recommendations to the school, and offering to exchange ideas with the school's therapists.
She keeps track of any new medical and scientific studies: augmentative communication devices, specialized clinics, links between speech apraxias and vitamins and nutrition. Victoria has fully informed us on anything and everything that could help us help our son. Her passion and professionalism have made her the most valued member of our team."
