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.
Tena Green
Advocacy & Family Support
You know your child.
You shouldn’t have to become a special education expert to make sure
they get the support they need.
Navigating special education can feel overwhelming, especially when you’re trying to understand evaluations, IEPs, 504 Plans, school meetings, accommodations, services,
and your rights as a parent.
You don’t have to figure it all out on your own.
I work alongside families to help you understand what’s happening, know what questions to ask, and confidently participate in decisions about your child’s education.
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.

...Because of Tena, our children are not only protected but genuinely set on a path toward success within their academic lives. She fights for their voices to be heard and for them to be truly seen as whole, complete individuals. Walking this journey alongside her brings an immeasurable sense of peace to both my heart and mind. We are forever grateful for the impact she has had on our family, and we look forward with deep trust and gratitude toward the future knowing her guidance will continue to light our path for years to come.

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.
