Empowering Parents and Supporting Schools:
Drawing upon my extensive background in educational settings, I empower parents/caregivers to navigate critical decisions with confidence and clarity. My approach is rooted in collaboration and fairness, always with the paramount goal of advocating for the child's best interests. I’m dedicated to guiding you towards effective solutions every step of the way.
Read on to see how I can provide support directly to schools/districts/SELPAs as well as to parents/caregivers.
Navigate Your Child's Educational Journey with Confidence
-
Examples include what to expect, preparation for meetings (e.g. review of documents or reports and what to discuss), suggestions for IEP goals, or behavior plan consultation.
For regular counseling/therapy clients or if I am completing an evaluation for your child, this is often included .
-
Under the American Disabilities Act, a 504 Plan provides students with accommodations due to a suspected or documented disability that is impairing their school functioning to a milder extent. I provide clarity on what to expect and suggest appropriate and realistic accommodations.

I can attend meetings to ensure your child’s needs are heard in a way that maintains a healthy partnership with the school. For more intensive advocacy needs, I am happy to provide you with some reputable referrals!
