About Alexis

Special education, from the inside.

Her story

Alexis Williams began her career in special education in 2009 and has spent the years since working directly with students with disabilities, the teachers who serve them, and the systems meant to support both. Over more than nine years in the classroom, she worked as a special education teacher and case manager — writing and defending IEPs, co-teaching alongside general education colleagues, and building instructional plans for students with a wide range of needs.

She then moved into school administration, where she has spent another nine-plus years leading special education programs from the front office: supervising staff, managing compliance and IDEA timelines, training teachers, and representing schools in IEP meetings, due process conversations, and district audits. That combination — years spent both writing the plan and being accountable for it — is rare, and it's the foundation of Williams Inclusion Consulting.

Alexis holds two Master of Arts degrees in Education: one in Special Education and one in Educational Leadership. She is licensed in the state of Tennessee for both Professional Teaching and Administration.

Why she consults

Special education is one of the most demanding — and most under-supported — areas of school life. Teachers are often handed a caseload, a stack of compliance deadlines, and very little coaching on how to manage either well. Administrators inherit programs with years of inconsistent practice baked in. Alexis started consulting because she kept getting asked the same questions by teachers and colleagues, and realized the guidance she could offer in a single conversation often saved weeks of trial and error.

How she works

Every consultation starts with the same question: what does this look like for your students, your classroom, or your school — specifically? Alexis doesn't hand out generic templates. She works from real IEPs, real classroom dynamics, and real compliance files, and she tells you plainly what's working, what's a risk, and what to do next.
