About ICAN1

Two vantage points. One mission.

Built by someone who has sat on both sides of the table — inside the school system, and inside a family.

Meet the Founder

LaVerne Sease-Batie, M.Ed.

I am LaVerne Sease-Batie: a wife, mother, school counselor, and the founder of ICAN1 LLC — a company built to close the gap between the classroom and the kitchen table. I work with overwhelmed parents and guardians whose children are struggling and underperforming in school, helping bridge the gap between parents, teachers, and educators by fostering partnerships that support students' academic success.

A Bridgeton, New Jersey native and graduate, I hold several distinguished degrees, including a Master of Education in School Counseling. I currently serve as a School Counselor in the Bridgeton Public School District, where I use my experience to support families.

I authored Growth Mindsets for Parents and Children, along with a growing catalog of workbooks, journals, and resources for children, teens, and families — each one teaching practical tools to navigate life's challenges and live successfully.

Guided by my faith, I am committed to inspiring both parents and children to embrace a growth mindset and realize their full potential. My favorite scripture, Philippians 4:13, reminds me daily: “I can do all things through Christ, which strengthens me.”

Better choices create better futures.

Why ICAN1

Practical Experience. Clear Guidance. Resources for Real-Life Challenges.

ICAN1 combines my experience as a school counselor, parent coach, and author with practical resources designed for parents, children, teens, families, and educators. The focus is on providing clear information, useful tools, and strategies that can support communication, confidence, emotional awareness, responsible choices, growth mindset, and school-related concerns.
