Working with Santa Rosa County District Schools families through Red Flag Audits, Coaching Sessions, and full IEP advocacy. 30–45 minutes from Pensacola for in-person meetings; virtual nationwide.
Navarre's growth has paralleled Pace's, and similar pressures show up at Holley-Navarre Primary, Holley-Navarre Intermediate, Holley-Navarre Middle, and Navarre High. ESE staffing has lagged enrollment growth, and parents frequently report waiting longer for evaluations and reviews than Florida's legal timelines suggest.
What we see in Navarre IEPs: Navarre IEPs we audit often show the under-resourced pattern: services delivered as "consultation" when the evaluation called for "direct," accommodations written generically, and progress reports that say "making progress" without underlying data. These are fixable in a single meeting if the parent walks in prepared.

In-person at Santa Rosa County schools
For families who want me, or one of the advocates on my team, at the table with them at Santa Rosa County District Schools meetings. Pre-prep, in-meeting, and post-meeting.
Get in touch →Merrie brought clarity in the meetings by explaining things we didn't understand and ensuring our voices were heard. Because of her guidance, our son received services thoughtfully tailored to his specific needs.
Merrie was so helpful through the whole process. She really took the time to explain the information, answer all of my questions, and advocate for the most successful plan for my boy. She took all of the overwhelming uncertainty out of it.
The 12-question checklist Merrie hands every parent before their first IEP meeting. Free.
