YOU KNOW YOUR COOL KID.
We'll Help You Navigate the Process.
Special education can come with a lot of information, paperwork, meetings—and questions.
- What should I be looking for?
- What should I keep?
- How do I prepare for a meeting?
- How do I know if my child is making progress?
- When should I put something in writing?
- What are my rights?
- What should I do next?
The Cool Kids Parent Collective, created by The Hull Firm, gives parents a place to learn, get organized, build practical advocacy skills, and connect with other parents navigating the special education process. You don't need to become a special education expert. You need the knowledge and tools to show up prepared for your Cool Kid.
YOUR PARENT ADVOCACY HOME BASE
Your $99/month membership gives you ongoing access to resources designed to support you throughout your child's special education journey.
🎓 LEARN AT YOUR OWN PACE
Access a growing library of parent-friendly, on-demand learning resources that break complicated special education topics into information you can understand and use. New and updated resources can be added throughout the year, giving you something to return to as your Cool Kid's needs change.
📥 GET THE TOOLS
Learning is important.
But sometimes you just need something that helps you do the thing. Members have access to a growing collection of:
- Checklists
- Templates
- Parent guides
- Worksheets
- Trackers
- IEP Binder Inserts
- Meeting preparation tools
- Advocacy planning resources
- Other downloadable tools
Use what you need, when you need it.
✍️ PUT WHAT YOU LEARN INTO PRACTICE
The Collective isn't designed for passive learning. Guided assignments, projects, and activities help you take what you've learned and apply it to your own advocacy. You'll practice skills like reviewing information, identifying priorities, preparing questions, organizing documentation, and planning your next move.
📁 GET ORGANIZED
Good advocacy gets much easier when you can find what you need. The Collective provides tools and guidance to help you organize your child's educational records, keep track of important information, and build an advocacy system you can continue using throughout the school year. Keep the paperwork. Find the receipts.
🏅 TRACK YOUR PROGRESS
Advocacy is a skill—and skills grow with practice. As you participate in the Collective, you'll have opportunities to earn points, badges, and certificates that recognize your progress and encourage you to keep building your advocacy skills. Learn it. Apply it. Keep growing.
💚💜 FIND YOUR PEOPLE
Join the Cool Kids Parent Community
You aren't the only parent trying to figure this out.
Membership includes access to the private Cool Kids Parent Collective Private Community, where members can connect, share experiences, celebrate Cool Kid Wins, and learn alongside other families.
Because sometimes the best thing to hear is: “Yep. I've been there too.”
WANT HELP APPLYING IT TO YOUR COOL KID?
Add an Individualized Records Review + Strategy Session
The Collective gives you the education, tools, templates, and resources to become a more informed and confident advocate for your child. But sometimes you need help answering a much more personal question:
“What does all of this mean for MY Cool Kid?”
Collective members can purchase an Individualized Records Review + Strategy Session with one of our in-house Special Education Advocates.
Your $650 add-on includes:
UP TO 100 PAGES OF RECORDS REVIEW
Submit up to 100 pages of your child’s most relevant educational records, along with your primary concerns and questions, for individualized review.
CUSTOMIZED RECOMMENDATIONS + ACTION PLAN
Your Advocate will use the records and concerns you provide to develop individualized recommendations, including questions you may want to ask, information that may be missing, issues to monitor, and practical advocacy steps to consider.
30-MINUTE FAMILY STRATEGY SESSION
Meet privately with your Special Education Advocate via Zoom to discuss the review, walk through the recommendations, ask questions, and identify priorities for your Cool Kid’s next steps.
General resources when you need to learn. Individualized support when you need help applying it.
Individualized Records Review + Strategy Sessions are provided by a non-attorney Special Education Advocate. This service does not include attorney representation or legal advice.
