Cherokee County Parents: Your Child Has Waited Long Enough.
From Canton to Woodstock, Russell Lloyd helps Cherokee County School District families who are tired of waiting: for an evaluation, for services that were promised, or for a plan that finally matches what their child needs. He takes the waiting, the guessing, and the 3 a.m. worry off your plate, and puts the pressure back where it belongs: on the school.

"We'll Keep an Eye on It" Is Not a Plan.
Many Cherokee County families come to Russell after months of conversations that went nowhere. He turns "we'll keep an eye on it" into evaluations, services, and a plan that finally fits your child.
Russell can attend IEP, 504, and eligibility meetings in person at Cherokee County School District campuses, or join live on video, on screen with the whole team.
Families Russell serves in Cherokee County include Canton, Woodstock, Holly Springs, Ball Ground, and Waleska.

Questions from Cherokee County parents
Do you serve families in Canton and Woodstock?
Yes. Russell works with families throughout Cherokee County, including Canton, Woodstock, Holly Springs, Ball Ground, and Waleska, in person or live on video.
The school keeps saying they will monitor my child. How long should I wait?
Monitoring without a plan, a measure, and a decision date can go on indefinitely. Russell helps you ask what will be measured, by whom, and when the team will decide, and put your request for an evaluation or a meeting in writing so the clock starts.
Can you help before the school year's annual IEP meeting?
Yes. The best time to prepare is two to four weeks before the meeting, so there is time to review the draft, gather evidence, and send questions ahead. Russell's meeting preparation service is built for exactly that window.
