GUIDING PARENTS
IEP Slay™ gives parents and caregivers the tools, knowledge, and support they need to advocate effectively for the children they love. Whether you’re new to the IEP process or have been through countless meetings, this is your space to learn, prepare, and grow alongside a community that gets it.
You Don’t Have to Leave IEP Meetings in Tears
If you’ve ever walked out of an IEP meeting feeling unheard, confused, or defeated, you’re not alone.
Parents of children with special needs often face:
Melissa & her Son, Ryan
• Walking into meetings unprepared because they don’t know how to prepare
• Feeling lost in special education jargon and legal language
• Not knowing what questions to ask, or when to ask them
“When my son was little, I left every meeting in tears. That’s why I built IEP Slay™, so no parent ever has to feel powerless again.”
You love your child deeply, but the system can feel impossible to navigate on your own. That’s where IEP Slay™ steps in.

Clarity. Confidence. Community.
BECAUSE ADVOCACY SHOULDN'T FEEL IMPOSSIBLE.
INSIDE THE MEMBERSHIP YOU'LL FIND:
IEP Slay™ was created to replace the fear, frustration, and confusion that too often come with the IEP process—with confidence, clarity, and community.
Most parents go into these meetings feeling unheard or unprepared—not because they don’t care, but because no one ever showed them how to navigate the system. IEP Slay™ bridges that gap by giving you a clear framework, practical tools, and emotional support, all in one place.
Through the proven SLAY™ Framework, you’ll finally know what to expect before, during, and after every IEP meeting. You’ll understand your rights, know how to use them, and have the scripts and strategies to speak with calm authority.
A Proven System: The SLAY™ framework breaks down every stage of the IEP process into simple, actionable steps so you’re never left wondering what comes next.
Clarity Instead of Confusion: Parent-friendly guides, checklists, and scripts designed to make complex special education language clear and approachable.
Confidence Instead of Fear: Stress-regulation tools and mindset practices that help you show up grounded, calm, and capable, even when emotions run high.
Ongoing Support: Monthly webinars, Q&A sessions, and access to Melissa herself, so you always have guidance when you need it most.
Community Instead of Isolation: A private circle of parents who understand what you’re going through, there to listen, encourage, and celebrate your wins.

What Parents are Saying
"If you’re a parent feeling overwhelmed by the special education system and unsure how to fight for the services your child needs, I highly recommend Melissa Gagne. She changed the course of my daughter’s education in just one meeting, and gave us clarity and hope for the future."
- Allison
"Melissa's incredibly diverse background in both the educational field and the law allows her to utilize the strengths and experience she has. Walking into our ppt meeting with our district we didn't know what to expect. Walking out of the meeting we felt confident and were so impressed with Melissa's expertise in communicating with everyone at the meeting. Her researching skills and professionalism are unmatched."
​
– M & G
"A special needs parent and experienced educator herself, Melissa is knowledgeable, supportive and works in collaboration with us and the district to best meet our daughters needs. She has become family, and we are forever grateful."
- Jeri
Meet the Founder of IEP Slay™
Hi, I’m Melissa, Special Education Attorney, former educator, and mom to a profoundly autistic and intellectually disabled son.
I know firsthand how overwhelming, confusing, and emotional IEP meetings can be, because I’ve lived it. I’ve sat in your chair, wondering how to make the system work, and I’ve been on the other side of the table as an educator trying to help parents navigate it all.
I created IEP Slay™ to make sure no parent has to feel powerless again. It’s the resource I wish I’d had: part roadmap, part support system, and part pep talk. Together, we’ll turn your overwhelm into confidence and your confusion into clarity, so you can walk into every IEP meeting as the strong, steady advocate your child deserves.
