WHAT PEOPLE SAY

We were going into our daughter's annual IEP feeling lost and outnumbered. Tony walked us through the document beforehand, helped us understand what to push for, and prepped us with the exact questions to ask. We walked into that meeting prepared for the first time, and the team finally heard us. He sees the system from the inside, and that changes everything.

Tony's tools and frameworks have changed how I write IEP goals. The stuff he builds works because he's still in a classroom writing them himself. It's not theory. It's what's actually working right now. I've recommended his resources to half my department.

The Practice

Built by Teachers Still in the Building.

Tony Granato founded Consult Granato Education after seven years in Illinois classrooms. He's currently a case manager and IEP chair at a North Shore high school. Alexandra Galanopoulos, the practice's Life Skills & Significant Disabilities Specialist, brings eight years supporting students with significant and complex needs.

Not theory. Not former teachers. Educators writing IEPs, running meetings, and coaching students with disabilities right now.
