You know your child best, their strengths, challenges, and potential. With 15+ years as a special education advocate, I help families navigate the system to secure the support their child deserves.
My experience spans roles as a former special education teacher, IEP compliance officer, administrator, and non-attorney advocate, giving me a full understanding of how schools operate and what they’re required to provide. I’ve supported families in countless IEP meetings, ensuring children receive appropriate services and accommodations.
With a doctorate in Educational Leadership focused on childhood trauma and ADHD, I bring both practical and research-based strategies to every case, so no opportunity for support is missed.
This course is everything I walk through with my one-on-one parents, you do not want to miss this.
