Advocacy with Love

Advocacy with Love Labor of Love Advocacy offers advice and guidance to parents and/or guardians of children who require Individualized Educational Programs or 504 Plans.

With over 20 years of experience as a special education teacher in Massachusetts, I posses a wealth of knowledge about various learning disabilities. I provide special education consulting to families of children who are struggling in school and not receiving appropriate services. I understand how intimidating it can be to attend school meetings and I am able to offer support and guidance to paren

ts in helping them assert their child’s rights under IDEA (Individuals with Disabilities Act). Having proper representation will lead to securing the best possible educational program and services for your child

As special education teacher for 20 years in public and private schools, preschool to high school, I have had the opportunity to witness children of all ages in various educational settings. Throughout my teaching experience I have seen children thrive in schools with great educational practices as well as struggle in poorly designed programs. The educational needs of a child change and often need to be modified to meet their individual profile. Good education is constantly reassessed to meet each child’s individual educational needs. It is also necessary that your child is happy and engaged when working with caring and competent professionals.
