I want you to know you're not alone.
I've stood exactly where you are today.
I’ve felt frustrated, overwhelmed, and sometimes angry with the special education system,
wondering, “Why is this so hard?”
Through my own journey, I’ve learned how to be a strong advocate; first for my own children,
and then for other families navigating similar challenges.
What I’ve discovered is that with the right support and by building strong partnerships
with teachers and service providers, it’s absolutely possible to create a more equitable
and meaningful education experience for your child.
I’m here to support you every step of the way.

What others are saying...
Tracy Gershwin, Ph.D., BCBA-D
Tena Green is an excellent facilitator, with a great amount of IEP and FIEP experience. Tena used to facilitate with CDE and has now moved to her own private practice. Tena’s partner Hettie Hueber also co-facilitates IEPs, conducts trainings, and a number of other supports for educators, families, and community partners. They both support our preservice educators at UNC, so I am very familiar and impressed with their work.
BC DiCiacco
I can honestly say I’ve not met anyone better at what she does. Her insight, wisdom, and ability to connect are exceeded Only by the size of her heart. She’s passionate about making a difference in people’s lives, and I’m so honored and grateful to have her on my team, and to call Tena my friend. It is with great pleasure that I give her my highest recommendation.
Charlotte B
Thank you both very much. It was such a relief to have you at my child's meetings, to help us before and after the meetings. You both must have a magic touch. After our meeting the school has been doing such a great job communicating with us. I can not thank you enough for all that you did for our family. I am definitely telling others about you all.
