Every child has a story that goes far beyond a diagnosis, evaluation, or test score.

That's one of the many reasons we're excited to welcome Loren Aldworth to the Levy Educational Advocacy® team.

Throughout her career, Loren has dedicated herself to helping families better understand their children's strengths, challenges, and unique learning profiles. Her work is grounded in the belief that meaningful support begins with seeing the whole child—not just isolated pieces of information.

With extensive experience in special education, educational evaluations, executive functioning, ADHD, anxiety, autism, and learning disabilities, Loren helps families make sense of complex information and navigate educational decisions with greater clarity and confidence.

What makes her perspective especially valuable is her understanding of both the educational system and the parent experience. She knows how important it is for families to feel informed, supported, and heard throughout the process.

We're honored to have Loren as part of our team and look forward to the impact she'll continue to make for students and families.

💙 Expertise with Empathy. Advocacy with Impact.®

Educational challenges rarely end when the dismissal bell rings.

When a student's needs are misunderstood, overlooked, or left unsupported, the effects often extend far beyond the classroom.

Families may find themselves managing emotional exhaustion, navigating constant school communication, coordinating evaluations and services, advocating in meetings, and trying to rebuild a child's confidence after another difficult day.

This isn't simply about academics.

It's about the well-being of the entire family.

At Levy Educational Advocacy®, we've seen how inaccessible educational systems can place tremendous emotional, financial, and practical burdens on caregivers. Parents shouldn't have to become full-time researchers, case managers, or crisis coordinators just to help their child access an appropriate education.

Meaningful educational access means more than completing assignments or earning grades. It means creating environments where students are understood, supported, and able to participate in learning without unnecessary barriers—and where families are empowered rather than overwhelmed.

Advocacy is about working collaboratively to remove those barriers so students, and the people who support them, can thrive.

💭 When education becomes more accessible, it doesn't just change a student's experience—it changes a family's.

💭 Comment "UNDERSTOOD" if this resonates with your family's journey.
