Prices and Sliding Scale

My goal is to provide service to families in a way that is accessible to families with a wide range of resources, while also valuing my own labor and supporting my family’s needs. This sliding scale is an effort to meet a range of needs. See below for a self-assessment for where you might fall in this scale.

Note that hourly rates are for 50-minute sessions; the remainder of the hour I spend writing you a robust follow-up email with notes and resources.

  Tier A Tier B Tier C Tier D
Initial Consult Free Free Free Free
Phone/Virtual Coaching $20/hour $65/hour $100/hour $150/hour
Phone/Virtual Coaching Package* $40 flat fee $130 flat fee $200 flat fee $300 flat fee

** Disability justice is a passion of mine, and children and families in need of IEP/Disability consulting may be facing a variety of needs. I make a special effort to make this service financially accessible.

Payment Policies

In most cases, clients may choose to either (a) pay in advance for services, or (b) be billed after each session, at the client’s preference.

In the case of the “consult package,” which has a discounted rate for three sessions, the entire fee must be paid either in advance or after the first session. Any pre-paid sessions that the client chooses not to use, or which have not been used within eight weeks of the initial payment, will be refunded, with the non-discounted hourly rate applied to sessions that have already occurred, and minus a 15% processing fee.
