List of Services
Families should select the service or services they are most comfortable with based on the circumstance. If the service plans listed do not meet the needs of your unique situation, a service agreement can be developed to accommodate your requests.
FREE Consultation
During this free 30-minute initial telephone consultation, I will listen to your concerns and discuss available support options based on the level of educational need for your child to help you decide if Social Butterfly is the right partner for you and your child.
Additional time for telephone guidance and recommendations can be billed as an hourly service after the initial
30 minute Free Consultation.
Annual Retainer
This annual retainer will provide you with continual and consistent “behind the scenes” support as you work to partner and collaborate with your child’s school to develop the most appropriate programming for their education.
Retainer services include:
On-boarding meeting with family and student. Provide an overview of the Special Education/504/Disciplinary evaluations and processes within the education system, review IEP/504 Plan/Disciplinary documents, and discuss parental concerns and desired outcomes for the child in order to develop an advocacy strategy to best serve the family
Comprehensive review of all FIE/IEP/504/Evaluation/Discipline documents
Formal ARD/504 meeting request to address any concerns noted during document review
Written communication support and guidance with school (plus support with drafting emails by parents (ghostwriting))
Written communication with other educational professionals and therapists to ensure the child has an appropriate diagnosis, services, information, and records in place
Written follow up after ARD/504 meeting with the school to ensure IEP/504 Plan is implemented consistently and with fidelity
Quarterly review of IEP Progress Reports and Academic Report Cards
Written communication with the family throughout the school year to ensure the child is properly supported by school staff, or for any school/classroom issues that arise (email, text messaging)
Provide resources for filing a local grievance, Texas Education Agency (TEA) state complaint, or Office of Civil Rights (OCR) complaint, if necessary. The goal of Social Butterfly is to avoid the need to file a formal complaint by working seamlessly with the parent as they foster a strong and collaborative partnership with the school district; however, there may be instances that rise to the occasion of filing formal complaints.

Hourly Services
Hourly services will be billed in addition to a single package selection, the annual retainer fee, and/or as an extension to the initial free 30 minute consultation. These services provide face-to-face meeting opportunities to align collaboration and communication during meetings, as well as offer additional support for the family, knowing someone is present and in their corner, hearing first hand what the district is proposing.
Hourly services available:
Additional telephone guidance and recommendations that may extend beyond the initial 30 minute Free Consultation.
Attend (in person) Annual ARD/504 Meetings or any additional required meetings during the school year (Revision, Transition, Manifestation Determination Review (MDR) Meetings, Disciplinary Due Process Hearings, Parent Requested Meetings, etc.)

After review of the drafted documents, meet with the family to explain the upcoming ARD/504/Discipline Meeting process and discuss with the family prior to the scheduled meeting recommendations for programming based on the family’s concerns, desired outcomes, and the data and recommendations for the student shared by the district so the family is equipped with an understanding and the ability to successfully collaborate with the district during the meeting in the best interest of their child

One-time meeting with family and student. Discuss parental concerns and desired outcomes for the child to be addressed in the upcoming meeting.
