About Meg

Hi! I’m so happy you found me!

I’m a certified educator who has experience working with students from PreK to high school. Over the last 16 years, I’ve noticed that parents feel overwhelmed, confused, and worried when navigating IEPs and/or 504 Plans.

And I get it! There are so many laws and policies, endless jargon and acronyms, and often conflicts between educational best practice and medical recommendations. It’s a lot!

I started Meg Flanagan Education Solutions, LLC in 2017 to help busy families understand special education and feel confident advocating at school.

With an M.Ed in special education, a BS in elementary education, and experience as a tutor, paraprofessional, homeschool teacher, classroom teacher, and intervention teacher, I can see situations from so many angles. I’d love to help your family find solutions and peace on your child’s education journey!

What's a Special Education Advocate?

An advocate is someone who helps you find your voice!

In education, advocates often support families with IEPs and 504 Plans. This means we help you understand the process, decode the data, create a plan, prioritize your wants and needs, and speak up for your child’s best interests.

Most importantly, education advocates train parents in the systems and processes that run their child’s school years. My main job is to help you be your child’s best advocate!

You have choices when hiring an education advocate, and I’m so happy you’re considering me!

I offer 16+ years as a licensed special and elementary educator. I have worked in a variety of student-facing educational roles – tutor, teacher, interventionist. In addition, I have completed extensive training to be an advocate including COPAA SEAT 2.0 and Master IEP Coach©. Finally, I have additional training in teaching English Language Learners and the Science of Reading.

I believe in a collaborative, data-drive, and child focused IEP/504 process. I seek actionable solutions and work to strengthen the parent/school relationship.

I’d love to help your family find success at school!

Why Choose Meg?

The short time we've worked together so far has truly been such a blessing and has offered so much great advice and input.

I felt really relieved after our session! Thank you for being there and providing me realistic solutions to fix our problems.

Thank you for your continuous support to ensure our child's educational needs are met, we are so thankful for you!

Better than Xanax!

I just wanted to take a second to say how much we appreciate you. Since you’ve been involved, we’ve noticed such a difference in how the team approaches our needs. They’ve been way more thorough, more detailed with their goals, and just overall more responsive. It’s clear that having you in our corner is making a real impact. Advocating on our own-we felt exhausted and it was frustrating at times, but having your support has taken such a weight off our shoulders. Thank you for everything you do for us, and for all the families you help. You’re amazing, and we are so grateful!

Meg is amazing! Her support has been absolutely wonderful and has helped our family so much! Cannot speak highly enough about her!!
