Frequently asked questions
We've compiled some frequently asked questions to help you understand what to expect from a consultation with Jonah & The Whale Consulting. Our goal is to provide transparent and accessible support to families navigating complex school-related challenges. We are committed to ensuring every child receives the dignity, protection, and education they deserve.
What's the biggest help or most important outcome a parent can expect after a consultation with you?
During a consultation, you're invited to explain what’s been happening – the events, the concerns, the emotions, and the questions. This is where we gather: the timeline, the school’s actions, the child’s needs, and any documents or communication you’ve received. Parents finally feel like someone is truly listening. Once we understand the situation, we help you identify the real problem beneath the chaos, such as a procedural violation, a behavior plan that isn’t working, an inappropriate suspension, or a missing evaluation. This step brings immediate relief because you can finally see the issue clearly.
What kind of struggles or worries usually lead parents to reach out for a consultation with you?
Parents usually contact me when they’re dealing with unfair discipline, behavior issues the school isn’t addressing, delays with special education services, or sudden crisis situations. Many feel ignored, confused, or overwhelmed and want someone knowledgeable to help them understand their rights and protect their child.
When a parent books a consultation, what can they expect to happen during that time? What steps do you usually go through?
When you book a consultation, you can expect to share what’s going on so I can understand the situation. We'll review any documents you bring. I'll identify the core issue and explain your rights in simple terms. You'll leave with a clear plan for what to do next and how to protect your child.
What makes your consultation process unique or different from other support parents might find?
Our consultation process is unique because we offer calm, clear, real‑world guidance from someone who has lived this experience. Parents get plain‑language explanations, a focused action plan, and compassionate, judgment‑free support they can’t always find elsewhere.
