DYSLEXIA & IEP SPECIALIST
Creator of "The Wynn Method of Advocacy™"
Meet Founder Stephanie Wynn
Stephanie Wynn is recognized as one of the country’s leading educational advocates. With more than 19 years of experience in educational advocacy, she has dedicated her career to helping families navigate the complex world of IEPs, 504 plans, Behavior Intervention Plans, evaluations, and disciplinary issues. As the creator of The Wynn Method of Advocacy™, Stephanie provides parents with a clear, structured approach to securing the individualized support their children need to succeed.
Stephanie’s journey as an advocate began more than 25 years ago when her eldest daughter required an IEP. As a mother of four, she understands firsthand the challenges parents face in navigating special education, and her advocacy continues today with two of her children still receiving services. What started as a personal mission has grown into a lifelong commitment to help other families succeed.
Stephanie specializes in dyslexia advocacy as well as supporting students with ADHD, Autism Spectrum Disorders, and other learning differences. Her personal experience as a parent, combined with nearly two decades of professional expertise, gives her a unique perspective that parents trust and educators respect. Her knowledge of special education law and student rights ensures that families have both the compassion of a mother and the strength of an experienced advocate on their side.
Through Wynn Advocacy, Stephanie works one-on-one with parents to review and interpret IEPs, 504 plans, evaluations, and behavioral documents. She helps families prepare for school meetings and often attends virtually to advocate in real time. Stephanie ensures compliance with federal and state education law while guiding families through critical decisions such as placement changes, disciplinary actions, or consideration of due process and mediation. Parents turn to her not only for her expertise but also for her ability to translate complex school documents into clear, actionable steps.
Over the years, Stephanie’s leadership and service have been recognized on both state and national levels. She has served as a member of the Council of Parent Attorneys and Advocates, as Nevada’s Volunteer Advocacy Ambassador for Autism Speaks, and as a graduate of multiple state and national leadership programs in disability and advocacy.

"My life changed forever!"
"Thank you Stephanie from the bottom of our hearts for supporting us through the IEP process. We had a hard fight to get our daughter into the proper placement and we could not have succeeded without your skills and determination. You truly went above and beyond and we are forever grateful. Our daughter is doing wonderfully because you believed in her"
M.Oxenberg CNM - California
"Stephanie Wynn is hands down our hero!"
"Stephanie Wynn is hands down our hero. She literally saved our son from being swallowed up, mistreated and used by the Clark County School System. She helped us understand our rights, our child's rights and the laws / regulations of IEPs. Stephanie works with dignity and grace, putting her clients first and making sure to check all the correct boxes. Our family is grateful for the lengths she went to, to fight for our son, and we are so happy with the outcome. Our son is now flourishing, placed where he needs to be and is receiving the appropriate services, all due to Stephanie and her advocacy for children."

"Stephanie fought for our son!"
"We came to Stephanie ready to give up, I had fought with my child's school for 2 years with no results before finding Stephanie. I was frustrated and unsure of the next step but I knew I had to continue to fight for my child. When I met with stephanie she assured me that my concerns were valid and that she would fight for my child, as of it were her own. This is exactly what she did! She educated my husband and I every step of the way, and more importantly she supported us every step of the way. Without stephanie we would still be fighting with the district, but it is because of stephanie my child has the IEP
he needed and has begun to thrive in school.

"We have filed due process and won with no contest! Thank You Stephanie!"
"Feeling so grateful so have found Stephanie Wynn to work with me in advocating for my 15 year old daughter, who is deaf. I have multiple special needs children and have been involved in IEP’s for 27 years. I thought I had a pretty good understanding of the IEP process, until Stephanie joined our aides team as an advocate! We live in a rural part of Clark County School District (Las Vegas area). We have had many frustrating years of seeking needed services. Stephanie taught me so much and opened my eyes to how much I didn’t know about the IEP process! We have been working closely for 2 years. I so appreciate the gentle way she handles IEP meetings. She is such a great asset to our IEP team and to our family. We have filed due process and won with no contest. My daughter has the most wonderful IEP accommodations and they are being implemented! Thank you Stephanie!"
J.H. - Nevada
"You have been God sent!"
"I cannot stress the importance and the difference an advocate has made in my children's and my experience in the public education system. Stephanie; you have been a God sent!
K. Murphy Fl
"Loved everything so far!"
"I was referred to Stephanie by a renowned psychologist in the valley after she evaluated my son. I was so clueless with CCSD and the educational system in the US period. The psychologist told me that you have a fight in your hands and your son will need the best educational Advocate possible, and that’s how I met Stephanie. She read the neuro psych report and worked with me to have a comprehensive strategy in place that will cover his IEP and all the providers he will need. At the time my son was in a self contained class which I knew was absolutely wrong but no one will listen to me. So Stephanie went to war for my son, and I’m in tears writing this because this was so painful for me. I was so loss and helpless but Stephanie was in it to make sure that my son got the education he needed and deserved. He not only was transferred from self contained to general ed within 30-days but he got the resources he needed, and also the right private providers that work with him outside of school. BTW, this fall the plan is to enroll him to a private school. Stephanie changed my life and my son’s life, and we are eternally grateful."
YN - Las Vegas, Nevada
"Highly recommend this!"
"My family and I are very appreciative and grateful for the guidance and help we received with Stephanie assistance in advocating for our children’s needs. When we felt our concerns weren’t being considered so we turned to Stephanie. I highly recommend parents attend IEP with a knowledgeable advocate like Stephanie. She is nothing short of phenomenal, very professional and articulate to get the job done correctly. Stephanie’s knowledge and expertise is a reassurance to parents who feel lost throughout the process of developing an IEP that produces results and meets each child’s individual needs. Thank you again Stephanie for being a voice for all CCSD students and parents!"
Danielle S - Las Vegas, Nevada
"My child now has the IEP he needed to thrive!"
"Stephanie Wynn is the key to IEP success with Clark County School District. Our family and faith in the school system was broken. We had experienced one failure after another. We came to Stephanie with an ineffective, underdeveloped BIP, IEP, unethical classroom management, severe increase in behavior, and no academic progress. Stephanie fought for our son. She believed in him and worked alongside us every step of the way making sure every detail was attended to. She was able to change what seemed to be a hopeless situation completely around in less than a year. My son is happy and thriving both socially and academically. We are extremely grateful and can’t thank her enough for all that she has done."
