Education Consulting

If you have a school-age child (PreK-12), you may be noticing signs of a learning difference or maybe your child was newly identified with a specific learning disability (dyslexia, dyscalculia, etc.) or other health impairment (like ADHD, anxiety, etc.). You may be struggling to navigate the special education process at their school. Sometimes it feels daunting and overwhelming or sometimes it may seem like an “us versus them” situation.

You need a calm, non-emotional mediator as a witness and advocate for both the parent and child.

That’s where I come in.

I work with the administration, teachers, evaluators, and experts to represent you and your child’s needs. I wade through the paperwork and, with an understanding of the Special Education process, navigate you through the journey so that you stay calm, and your child gets the needed support and resources.
