Meet Meghan Moore,
BCBA, MA, and the advocate
who knows both sides of the table.
Meghan Moore is a Board Certified Behavior Analyst with a Master's in Special Education from San Diego State University. Before she became your advocate, she spent nearly a decade on the other side of the table, writing IEPs, leading eligibility meetings, and designing behavior programs inside California's largest school districts.
"I've been in that room before you arrive. I know what's being discussed, and now I use that to fight for your child."
Meghan Moore is a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) with a Master of Arts in Special Education from San Diego State University. She spent close to a decade working inside California school districts, first as an Education Specialist at San Diego Unified School District writing individualized education programs and supporting students with a range of disabilities, then as a Program Specialist at Poway Unified School District where she oversaw eligibility determinations, designed behavior programs, and trained staff on IDEA compliance. In those roles she participated in hundreds of IEP and eligibility meetings from the district side of the table. She now applies that insider knowledge as an advocate, serving families in Charlotte, North Carolina and nationwide via Zoom. Her services include IEP meeting preparation, attendance at IEP meetings, document and evaluation review, and full ongoing advocacy. What distinguishes her practice is direct experience with how schools frame eligibility decisions before parents arrive.
She knows how eligibility decisions get framed before parents enter the room, which is why her families walk out of meetings with services other advocates miss.
Meet Courtney Aseltine,
advocate, educator,
and a parent who's been there.
Courtney has sat at hundreds of IEP tables across eight years as a public school educator and administrator. Then she crossed to the other side as a professional advocate. And the whole time, she's been doing it as the parent of two children with disabilities.
"I know this process from every angle. That's not a credential you earn in a course, it's something you live."
Her youngest son is Deaf, with additional diagnoses including Sensory Processing Disorder, ADHD, and Dyslexia. Her older son has mental health support needs. She has navigated this system for more than a decade as a parent, not just as a professional, which means she understands exactly what it feels like to sit in your seat. Courtney is a COPAA member, a Guardian ad litem in North Carolina's foster care system, and serves on the board of the Decibels Foundation. Her practice includes a Trauma-Informed Programs and Practices certification from the University of Michigan.
Courtney Aseltine is not an attorney and does not provide legal advice.
What school-side experience actually changes.
Most advocates have never worked inside a school district. Meghan has, as a Behavior Analyst, Education Specialist, and Program Specialist for nearly a decade. She's written hundreds of IEPs. She's run eligibility meetings. She knows exactly what happens in the room before you arrive.
That 360° perspective isn't something you can learn from a certification course, and it's why her families walk out of meetings with services that others don't.

30-Minute Consult
You share what's happening. Meghan listens, asks the right questions, and tells you honestly what kind of support makes sense. No obligation.
Document Review
Meghan reads everything: the IEP, evaluations, progress reports, prior written notices. She tells you what's strong, what's missing, and where the school is falling short legally.
Strategy & Preparation
Before any meeting, you'll know your goals, the language to use, what to push back on, and what the school is likely to offer versus what they're actually required to provide.
At the Meeting
Meghan attends alongside you, in person for Charlotte-area families or via Zoom anywhere in the US. She knows the language, she knows the process, and she knows what to listen for.
Advocacy built on how schools actually work.
BCBA-Level Analysis
Most advocates evaluate IEPs on legal structure alone. Meghan also evaluates them on behavioral science. She can tell you whether the goals are evidence-based, whether the behavior plan is likely to produce actual results, and whether the services proposed match your child's measurable needs.
Direct Communication
Meghan does not hedge. If the school is offering less than your child is entitled to, she will tell you. If your concerns are valid, she will help you articulate them in the terms that matter legally. If she cannot help, she will say so and connect you with someone who can.
School-Side Knowledge
She wrote the IEPs. She ran the eligibility meetings. She knows what districts discuss before parents arrive, what language they use to limit services, and how to respond to it. No parent-side training replicates that.
Available Everywhere
In-person for Charlotte, NC and SC families. Via Zoom for any family in any state. IDEA is a federal law, which means her knowledge of the process applies regardless of your district or your state.
Families who walked in overwhelmed and walked out with services.

Brinna G.Parent · Child with Autism & ADHD"I honestly didn't know what I didn't know going into my daughter's first IEP meeting. We walked out with services I didn't think we'd get."
Rachel M.Parent"We had been fighting the same battle for two years before finding Meghan. What changed was understanding how the other side of the table actually thinks."
Jennifer T.Parent"Meghan helped us prepare for a meeting we were dreading. She reviewed everything and was available for questions right up until the morning of."
