If you’ve ever walked
into an IEP meeting
carrying your child’s
struggles, your fears,
and the weight of
being outnumbered
by professionals,
you know how
overwhelming it feels
You love your child
more than anything —
but love isn’t enough
when you don’t know
the real problem to
solve or how to get
the right people on
your team.
That’s where this
challenge comes in.

Kimberly Christenson is the founder of The Grateful Guardian, a parent-focused brand built on lived experience as both a mother of a child with disabilities and an individual with disabilities herself. She has spent years navigating special education systems, fighting through barriers, and learning how to turn overwhelming challenges into practical solutions. Kimberly specializes in helping parents save time, money, and frustration by equipping them with the exact tools and strategies they need to advocate effectively at the IEP table.

Rose Allen is the founder of Creative Social Solutions, where she guides families, caregivers, and service providers through life transitions, disability-related systems, and tough decisions with calm, clarity, and care. Known as “Best Auntie Ever” Rose brings both professional expertise and the wisdom of lived family experience, offering a proven process that reduces overwhelm and builds sustainable plans for success.

Together, Kimberly and Rose bring the perfect balance—Kimberly’s fire for advocacy and real-world strategies combined with Rose’s steady clarity and support systems. We know what it feels like to be outnumbered and unheard, and we know what it takes to change that. That’s why we are the best people to lead you through this Challenge: because we’ve lived it, we’ve done it, and now we’re here to show you how to step into clarity and confidence for your child.
• You keep chasing grades, behaviors, or services — but the situation is not improving and your child is falling further behind their peers
• You leave meetings upset, frustrated and unsure of the next step and wondering if anything will change.
• You sit at the IEP table surrounded by professionals who speak a different language and no matter what you tellt hem about your child, they are not hearing you

There are plenty of great programs that train parents to advocate by teaching special education law. This is not that.
Because the problem isn’t that parents don’t care enough or haven’t read enough. The problem is that even with all the information in the world, they still walk into meetings feeling lost, isolated, and unsure of what move to make next.
This challenge is different because it doesn’t overload you with more rules or paperwork—it equips you with clarity and strategy.
You’ll learn how to:
• Walk into the meeting clear on what matters most for your child.
• Recognize where you’ve been carrying stress that doesn’t belong to you.
• Rally the right people around you so you never sit at the table alone.
• Make intentional moves that shift the conversation in your favor.
The transformation is simple but powerful:
• From overwhelmed → to clear.
• From isolated → to supported.
• From anxious → to confident.
This isn’t about knowing the law. This is about knowing yourself, your child, and your support system.
Because clarity doesn’t just change the meeting .
Clarity changes the trajectory of your child’s life.
The SPOTLIGHT SEAT: The Breakthrough Track
This is the breakthrough track — and there’s only ONE.
Why the Spotlight Seat matters:
You don’t just learn. You get coached directly on your child’s IEP for three full days.
You walk away with Steps 1 and 2 of our Clarity in 7 Steps program applied to YOUR case.
Normally, one session to cover the first two steps with one of us is $750. In the Spotlight Seat, you get both of us together. That’s double the expertise at a fraction of the price.
The transformation is real: you’ll uncover the true problem, see yourself differently as your child’s advocate, and leave with the allies you need to win.
