Supportive Special Education Advocacy
The Special Education Advocacy services I offer provide thoughtful guidance and support to parents navigating the often complex and emotional process of understanding their child’s learning needs and accessing appropriate school-based supports. As a non-attorney educational consultant, my role is to help families better understand the school process and feel more confident as questions and concerns arise. I am committed to supporting students and families from the very beginning—helping parents make sense of what’s happening at school, prepare for conversations and decisions, and move forward with greater clarity and less overwhelm. My philosophy is grounded in collaboration. I believe that when parents feel supported and informed, and schools and families work together, children are best positioned to grow and thrive.
