Special Ed Advocate Services
I can help you get your child proper support with an IEP or 504 in school.Please note I am not taking new advocacy clients at this time. Please join my mailing list to be notified if this changes. Thanks!
As a Special Ed Advocate, my goal is to make sure your child has the best support possible.
My process includes teaching YOU, so you can advocate and find lasting solutions for your child’s special education challenges.
IEP and 504 Consulting
Sometimes a Special Education Advocate is needed to help the special education process run more smoothly. I believe schools and parents can work productively for the benefit of the student when everybody has the same vision of the goals, understands the child and respects the law.
I am here to help you to take charge of your child’s education so you are confident in your ability to participate in IEP or 504 meetings. I can help you create a roadmap for:
- Understanding parent’s rights and your child’s rights
- Reviewing school records and assessments to develop recommendations for services
- Assistance with drafting, modifying and refining IEP or 504 plans
- Communicating with the school to ensure proper documentation
- Planning and writing IEP goals and special ed accommodations
- Identifying outside resources to support your child
- Monitor implementation of IEP or 504 plans

Attend IEP, 504 and SST Meetings
The emotional aspects of special education can be overwhelming, so I can attend IEP, 504 and SST meetings to help facilitate the process and advocate for your child. My attendance at the meeting can also be part of your coaching process to help you learn how to interact with school personnel and when to step up and ask for what is not being offered. This service is available to specific school districts within Southern California due to travel restrictions.
I have over a decade of experience in the trenches of special education, both as a parent and as a counselor in the school systems.
