Empowered Strategies and Consulting / Special Education, homeschool and curriculum support

My Story

With over 20 years of experience in education, I’ve seen firsthand the power of learning to inspire, heal, and transform. As a homeschool mom, curriculum designer, and special education consultant, my mission is simple: to bring the joy of learning back into the lives of families, educators, and children. I hold a Master’s degree in Education and Curriculum Design, and I believe deeply in the importance of play, connection, and honoring childhood. Whether through tailored support for homeschoolers, sensory-enriched learning experiences, or advocating for effective AAC use, I’m here to empower you with the tools and confidence to thrive. Education isn’t one-size-fits-all—and together, we can make it meaningful, doable, and joyful again.

Let's Connect

*"As a military spouse homeschooling two neurodivergent children, I was completely overwhelmed—until I found Empowered Strategies Consulting. Ashly took the time to truly understand our family's needs, including our EFMP challenges, sensory struggles, and IEP goals. She helped me break everything down into a manageable plan, adapted curriculum for both kids, and even gave me tools to confidently advocate during our PCS transition.

Thanks to her support, our homeschool finally feels peaceful, purposeful, and personalized. I don’t feel alone anymore—Ashly is like having a teammate in my corner who just ‘gets it.’ I highly recommend her to any military family navigating special needs or just getting started with homeschooling!”*
