“Empowering Parents. Protecting Students. Transforming Special Education
Spero is a catalyst for meaningful transformation in special education and beyond.
Our mission is to empower families, educators, and organizations through expert guidance, professional development, and advocacy rooted in compassion and compliance. We believe every child deserves dignity, clarity, and a learning environment where they can truly thrive—and every family deserves a knowledgeable partner to help them navigate the system with confidence.
At SPERO, we support all families seeking clarity, direction, or advocacy in their child’s educational journey—whether or not an IEP is currently in place. One of our signature services is our meticulous IEP review, where every component—PLAAFPs, goals, accommodations, services, behavior supports, and progress data—is analyzed through the lens of special education law and best practice. We identify what should or should not be included, ensuring full alignment with your child's rights, needs, and meaningful progress.
