🎙️ Barbara Beck, Founder: 30+ years in Special Education and Transition Planning Expert
About the Founder
Built by someone
who lives this too.
I didn't choose this work. It chose me in fourth grade, the year I met Laurie.
For over 30 years I sat across from families at IEP tables: navigating benefits, employment, housing, guardianship, and the terrifying question every parent eventually asks in the dark: "What happens to my child when I am gone?"
Then I became a stepmom, and the ground shifted under everything I thought I knew. There is a profound difference between knowing something professionally and living it personally. I felt it in my own chest.
I built MyKey LaunchPad because every family should have a launch plan. Because Laurie's family, and Diane's family, and yours, should have had one place to go.

Listen Now →Our Mission
"Every family navigating disability deserves a launch plan built from real expertise: not a search engine, not a Facebook group, not luck."
MyKey LaunchPad is that launch plan. Built by someone who lived it as a professional, and then lived it as a parent.
A tool your families can use between IEP meetings
LaunchPad does not replace you. It keeps the family's own record organized, so the time you spend together goes further.
Transition coordinators
Families arrive at the table already organized, with their goals, timelines, and questions written down.
Special education teachers
The family keeps their own record between meetings, so nothing gets lost in the handoff from year to year.
DVR counselors
Families come to you with a clear picture of strengths, interests, and the supports they already use.
One page you can print or forward to your team.
