For IEP advocates

The intake, the records, the meeting — in one workspace, with consent on file.

Stop chasing emailed PDFs. Stop scheduling on three calendars. Stop charging by check. Gardenia gives advocates a paid-consult flow, an async Q&A queue, and a family handoff with documented consent — all wrapped around the same workspace the parent already lives in.

How advocates use Gardenia

Three revenue streams. One inbox.

Stream 1

Paid consults

60-minute Zoom calls booked through your availability windows, paid via Stripe Checkout, with the IEP pre-read already built when you join the call.

  • Configurable consult catalog (60 / 90 / 30 min)
  • Recurring availability windows in your timezone
  • Auto-built pre-read packet 24 hours before the call
  • Notes + follow-up letter saved in the family workspace

Stream 2

Async Ask-Nicole queue

Parents pay $29 for a single question with a 24-hour SLA. You answer when you can. They opt-in to publish anonymized for your library — which becomes your SEO + portfolio.

  • Inbox of paid questions, sorted by SLA
  • Publish-with-redaction one-click
  • Public ask-library doubles as social proof
  • Auto-refund if you don't answer in 24 hours

Stream 3

Family handoff + letters

Long-term clients invite you into their workspace. You see the IEPs they share, draft letters with their consent, and step out cleanly when the engagement ends.

  • Per-child grant — read documents the parent shares
  • Draft letters from the 30-template Nicole catalog
  • Time-bound or open-ended, revocable any time
  • Audit log of every action on both sides

The pre-read packet

The meeting is the meeting.

When a parent books a consult, Gardenia auto-builds a pre-read packet from the IEP they uploaded: goals (with measurability flags), services (with frequency), accommodations, the auto-detected concerns, and the questions the parent already had. You walk into the call already three steps ahead.

  • Auto-extracts goals, services, accommodations, and the next-meeting date from the parent's IEP
  • Flags vague goals + missing FAPE language before you walk in
  • Pulls the parent's stated concerns + open questions
  • Citation-grounded — every quote linked to the page in the source PDF
“The parent shares the doc. Gardenia builds the brief. You show up ready.”

Pricing you set, payouts via Stripe.

Configure your consult catalog: 60-min IEP review, 90-min eligibility deep-dive, 30-min Ask-anything. Stripe Connect handles checkout + 1099 reporting. We take a small platform fee; you keep the rest.

Consent-on-file, every time.

Each consult booking includes a digital consent record with explicit scope: which child, which records, which dates. Revoke anytime. Audit log on both sides. No verbal “I think the parent said it was fine.”

Run an advocacy practice that scales without breaking.

Advocate Pro: $49/month. Unlimited family invitations, unlimited consults, Stripe Connect for payouts, the public Ask-library to demonstrate your work.
