Educational Advocacy
 

Navigating the landscape of individual learning needs can be very challenging for any parent. After 18 years in education, I have developed an expertise in IEPs, 504s and in gifted education. Whether you’re working through some difficult conversations with a school, looking for ideas for accommodations that may work better for your child or hoping to negotiate subject or grade acceleration, I will work with you to get your child the best educational situation possible. 

 

What an advocate can do for you:

• Read all reports, notes and files with your permission

• Give suggestions for appropriate accommodations goals and services

• Attend any school meetings with a parent

• Explain current laws and regulations

• Translate “teacher speak” and acronyms into parent friendly language

• Discuss educational options and settings that may benefit your child

• Provide research packages for parent to share with school or teacher
