Special Education Advocacy and Consultation
Available for elementary aged children through high school, until the age of 22.
We know how confusing it can be for parents to navigate the Special Education programs in our public schools. While we are fortunate to have excellent schools in our local districts, there is not always sufficient staff to give a parent the individualized attention he or she deserves. We are here to help you and give you all of the support, information, and advocacy to help you through from design to implementation of your child’s customized special education plan.

We offer as much or as little assistance as you require. Parents may wish to attend our informative training designed to assist them in working on their own with the school; or parents may want to choose the consultation package that best suits their needs. Informative sessions include:
