IEP, 504 & School Support Omaha, NE - Eloura Therapy, LLC

Another meeting. Another set of acronyms. Another form to sign, and you still aren’t sure what it means for your child.

Maybe “IEP” and “504 plan” have become words you hear more than you understand, nodded along to in a hallway conversation with a teacher, standing in for something you can’t quite picture. Maybe you’ve watched your child struggle with focus, with big feelings, with fitting in, and you don’t know if what you’re seeing calls for a diagnosis, an accommodation, or just more support. Maybe the stress from school has started following your child home, showing up as shutdowns, arguments, a version of them you don’t quite recognize.

You don’t have to become a special education expert overnight, and you shouldn’t have to navigate the school system and your family’s emotions at the same time, alone.

Angie Halstead spent 29 years as a school social worker before she became a therapist. She’s sat on the school’s side of the IEP and 504 table, and now she sits on yours. She knows what the paperwork actually means, what to ask for, and how to advocate for your child without losing yourself in the process. In Omaha, that combination is rare: a therapist who also speaks fluent “school.” She brings that same steady, informed presence to the anxiety, behavior, and family conflict she’s supported for more than 34 years.

Therapy here isn’t one more meeting on the calendar. It’s a place where your child feels understood, and where you finally have someone in your corner who’s already been on the other side of the table.
