I’m Lauran, a Special Education teacher and certified Learning Behavior Specialist (LBS1), passionate about helping children, parents, and educators succeed. I specialize in turning challenges into growth opportunities, whether that’s navigating IEPs, supporting early literacy using Handwriting Without Tears®, strengthening executive functioning skills, or guiding social-emotional development.

I enjoy mentoring young educators to build confident, inclusive classrooms and coach parents in using practical strategies that support learning, behavior, and independence at home. I use research-backed, personalized approaches, and mentorship/certification from Connected Parenting. I empower children to thrive academically, socially, and emotionally, while equipping adults with the tools to create meaningful, lasting connections.

If you’re a parent navigating IEPs, behavior challenges, or learning concerns or an educator looking to strengthen your practice, I’m here to help you take clear, confident next steps.

Let’s work together to help your child thrive and support the adults guiding them.
