👩🏫 Created By an Expert Who’s Been There
Hi, I’m Kathy Cousineau, M.Ed., WDP, and founder of My Happy Teacher. As both a certified Wilson Dyslexia Practitioner and a parent who’s sat at the IEP table for her own children, I know how hard this process can feel. That’s why I created a system that actually works in real life—for families like yours.
Marcus A., parent of a 4th grader
“I no longer feel scattered going into IEP meetings. Everything I need is in one place, and I finally feel like I’m a true part of the team.”
Jen H., parent with two children on IEP's
“I used to feel completely overwhelmed before every IEP meeting, papers scattered everywhere, no idea what to bring, and always forgetting something important. This binder changed everything. Now I walk into meetings feeling calm, prepared, and confident. I even had a teacher say, ‘Wow, you’re really organized!’ It’s been a total game-changer.”
Emily S., mom of a 2nd grader with dyslexia
“This system gave me confidence and clarity. It’s more than just a binder, it’s a lifeline.”
