About Clear Voice Consulting
Professional guidance rooted in 30+ years of education, advocacy, and communication expertise.
Clear Voice Consulting helps parents show up prepared for their child’s IEP meetings, in language the school team has to take seriously. Founded by Dr. Eric Johnson, who spent nearly a decade as the LEA administrator running those meetings in Wake County.
Who Is Guiding You
Eric Johnson, Ed.D spent nearly a decade as the LEA administrator running IEP meetings for Wake County Public Schools. He knows what gets heard in that room and what doesn’t, because he was the one deciding. Clear Voice Consulting exists to give parents that same read on the room, whether they’re walking into a meeting or putting something in writing the school needs to take seriously.
His doctoral research required the kind of high-stakes, evidence-based writing that most people never formally learn. He now teaches that same discipline to individuals and organizations who need professional results without professional fees.
Dr. Johnson began integrating AI tools into writing instruction in 2022, before most educators had recognized their potential. He understands both the power and the limits of these tools, and more importantly, he knows how to teach others to use them as genuine writing partners, ensuring the finished product sounds like the client, not like a machine.

The Clear Voice Framework
Every session is built on four principles:
Grounded Reality
Every document is built from your specific words, facts, and sources. Nothing is generic.
Independence
You leave with a repeatable process you own and can use without outside help.
Authenticity
Every document reflects your position and your voice, not a template.
Urgency-Ready
When a deadline is immediate, production sessions deliver a finished document in real time.
Your Privacy
Clear Voice Consulting takes the confidentiality of your situation seriously. In coaching sessions, clients interact directly with their own documents, Dr. Johnson does not handle, upload, or store your documents on your behalf. In document production sessions, any materials shared are used only within that session and deleted within 30 days of the engagement ending. Immediate deletion may also be requested.
When AI tools are used during sessions to assist with drafting, this is always disclosed before it happens and clients may decline. A Client Privacy Guide is provided to paying clients with practical steps for protecting sensitive information when working with any AI platform. Clear Voice Consulting will never sell, share, or disclose client information to any third party.
Important Boundaries
Clear Voice Consulting is a coaching and document production service. It is not legal, financial, or medical advice. Dr. Johnson is not an attorney and does not provide legal representation. Every document produced reflects the client’s own situation, facts, and voice, this service does not offer ghostwriting of fabricated content or one-size-fits-all templates.
For situations requiring formal legal representation, Dr. Johnson can help you recognize when that threshold is approaching.
