Welcome! I’m Lisa Capobianco Alexander.
With over a decade of experience teaching special education and supporting students of all ages and abilities, I am passionate about helping learners recognize their strengths, build practical skills, and achieve meaningful growth.
Today, I proudly offer a range of services to families, schools, and legal teams, including:
- Tutoring and Literacy Intervention:
Offering targeted, individualized instruction in reading, writing, and math, using research-based methods and engaging, accessible materials. - Advocacy Services:
Empowering families as they navigate the IEP process, ensuring that students receive the supports and services they deserve. - Special Education Consulting:
Providing independent IEP compliance audits, transition planning support, expert document reviews, and real-world insights into special education service delivery — bridging the gap between legal standards and classroom implementation.
In addition to my private practice, I also serve part-time as an executive functioning and literacy coach for Effective Effort Consulting in Norwell, Massachusetts, where I work with an exceptional team supporting student success.
Please don’t hesitate to contact me with any questions!
