What is Special Education Advocacy?
The Special Education Advocacy services I offer are designed to provide comprehensive support and guidance to parents navigating the often complex and emotional process of securing appropriate interventions or special education services for their child. I have a deep understanding of the challenges families face when their children encounter difficulties in school in grades K-12. I am committed to taking a proactive stance to support students and guide families from the very moment concerns arise regarding their child's learning struggles. My philosophy is grounded in collaboration, as I firmly believe that when parents, teachers, and advocates work together harmoniously, all children can thrive in school.
