I help families of neurodivergent and disabled students advocate with clarity and confidence, so their child receives the remedial support to ensure meaningful progress.
I am a social work licensure candidate (Spring 2027) and a SEAT 2.0–trained special education advocate through the Council of Parent Attorneys and Advocates (COPAA). I also work at a special education law firm, so if your case ever requires an attorney, I can connect you directly. I bring an understanding of children and families, along with specialized training in legal advocacy, to every case.

How We Work Together

1. Understand Your Child

We carefully review evaluations, IEPs, progress reports, progress monitoring, report cards, records, your concerns, and goals to get a clear and complete understanding of your child's unique needs. We consult with our experts to conduct independent, multidisciplinary evaluations to ensure that every area of potential disability is thoroughly assessed in accordance with the IDEA.


2. Advocate with a Strategic Plan

We review the data, collaboratively develop a clear plan, and apply principled negotiation strategies grounded in the IDEA and state regulations to ensure your child receives the meaningful services they are legally entitled to. We coach you on how to advocate for your child.


3. Progress Monitor & Follow Through

We do not stop at the district's agreement; we ensure services are implemented with fidelity and your child is receiving the support they need to make meaningful progress, access their education, or/and function at a more independent level.
