Special Education Advocacy

As Your Advocate I Will

✅ Provide Expert IEP Guidance – Use my deep knowledge of special education laws, systems, and evidence-based strategies to design a plan that fits your child’s unique needs.

✅ Amplify Your Voice – Equip you with the tools, language, and confidence to advocate effectively for your student at every step.

✅ Foster Collaborative Success – Bridge communication between schools and families to create a team fully invested in your child’s progress.

✅ Target Unique Needs – Develop customized accommodations, goals, and supports that address your child’s specific challenges—whether autism, ADHD, learning disabilities, or emotional needs.

Because every child deserves an IEP that unlocks their potential.

I Help Transform IEPs into Roadmaps for Growth

I guide teams in creating:

✔ Targeted Accommodations – From assistive tech to environmental modifications
✔ SMART Goals – Clear, measurable objectives for academic and functional growth
✔ Effective Structures – Consistent frameworks that support unique learning needs
