​Why Work With Me?

​

With 27 years of experience in education and psychology, I bring deep insight and practical strategies that many advocates simply can’t offer. I’ve worked with students from ages 3 to 21 across a full range of needs, including autism, ADHD, learning differences, and emotional challenges.

​

What Sets My Advocacy Apart?​
 

☑️Empowerment Over Dependency
Unlike advocates who prolong the process, I focus on coaching and equipping parents to become confident, informed advocates. The result? Less stress, fewer fees, and long-term independence.

☑️Proven Experience Across All Levels

From preschool to high school and beyond, I’ve supported students in every type of educational setting, including general ed, resource, self-contained, and specialized programs.

 

☑️Strategic, Data-Driven, and Collaborative
I blend a solution-focused approach with a deep understanding of school systems—ensuring your child’s needs are met while maintaining a respectful, effective relationship with the school team.

 

☑️Expertise in 504/IEP/ARD Meetings
Having participated in thousands of educational planning meetings, I know how to ensure your child’s plan is thorough, individualized, and aligned with both legal requirements and their real needs.

 

☑️In-Depth Knowledge of Special Education Law
As a former expert witness in a Special Education Due Process Hearing, I’ll help you understand your rights and communicate confidently with your child’s school.

 

My Mission:​
 

To bridge the gap between families and schools so every child can access the education they deserve—with less confusion, less stress, and more success.
