    THE HOUSE PROJECT, LLC.

    Navigating Advocacy for Meaningful Education (N.A.M.E.) partners with The House Project to provide families with comprehensive support across the special education landscape. While NAME focuses on academic tutoring and IEP consultation, The House Project specializes in behavioral support, parent coaching, and personalized guidance for families navigating behavioral needs and school-based interventions.

    Because our services address different yet deeply connected, areas of special education, many families work with both organizations. This shared approach ensures that students receive coordinated support that addresses their academic, behavioral, and social-emotional needs. Together, we help families understand their rights, strengthen school communication, and build effective plans that support the whole child.

    Through this collaboration, NAME and The House Projects, LLC. offers a unified pathway for families seeking advocacy, clarity, and meaningful progress in their child’s educational journey.
