Big news!

Karen Mayer Cunningham, nationally known as the Special Education Boss, has selected me to join her group as a partner! This is a limited designation held by only a small number of professionals nationwide and reflects advanced training, demonstrated expertise, and strict alignment with ethical, student-centered advocacy.

This partnership means my work is based in current guidance, real-world educational practice, ongoing professional development, and Federal law. It is not opinion-based or outdated. Accountability, precision, and integrity are required.

For families, this matters. Your child’s needs remain the priority, even when that makes systems uncomfortable.

If you need clear guidance and strong advocacy at the IEP table, reach out to me at [email protected].

So many school districts will push kids who are struggling into a resource class, telling parents that's all they need. If you think your child is struggling in school then they need to be tested to see why. Many districts won't test until the end of 3rd grade when, in reality, they are required by law to test as early as 3 years old. Don't let your child struggle - let us help you get your child what they need to be successful.

Federal Law requires school districts to test any child age 3 to 18 who has a suspected disability. Don't let the distrist tell you that your child will grow out of it or they're too young to test. Contact me if you have questions.
