EDUCATION AND INDEPENDENCE HOPE STARTS HERE
About Us
Every parent expects their child to receive an appropriate education to be successful in life. When your child requires a unique education plan, it can be intimidating to navigate the IEP and 504 Accommodation Plans alone - Hope 2 Joy will be that supportive force for you the whole way through.
My name is Carol Woodard, and I have over 20 years of experience advocating on behalf of children with autism and special needs. I began first with my own son's journey through the education system, and became inspired to support other families in my situation.
Our mission is to help the families of special needs children understand their school system's complex processes in order to meet the unique needs of their child. We always work with the same goal for every child: to reach their highest level of independence and educational performance.
Collaborating with special education attorneys, teachers, and parents alike, I will strive to make sure your child's individual needs are addressed.
Our Impact
When Hope 2 Joy Advocacy began during the 2014/15 school year, my desire was to help as many families as possible to secure a Free Appropriate Public Education for their loved one. Ten years later, I am excited to say that I have assisted over 500 families in their Special Education journey. We focus on the needs of the student and write specific goals in order to make meaningful progress in the most appropriate setting.

To offer Hope
“Carol is an amazing asset to have at your side when trying to navigate through IEP. With her first hand experience as a special needs parent she understands exactly what we are going through. She was very helpful in getting us through a meeting with our voices heard instead of us being talked over. We left the meeting certain that we made progress and hopeful about the next meeting being just as productive if not more. Highly recommend Hope 2 Joy Advocacy.”
“There are not enough words to say how much Carol has done for my son Cade and our family as a whole. Extremely knowledgeable and very caring about what she does. 10 stars in my book!!!!”
