Dr. Tammy Cyra may be the best advocate in education! She’s kind, gracious & so very dedicated to our kiddos. I wouldn’t go into an ARD meeting without her.

Tammy is the best!!! She will make sure you and your child are getting all of the services available and then some. She is always a phone call away and goes above and beyond for all of her clients. I’ve used her for 7 years for my son on the spectrum and know she will continue to assist as needed until he graduates from school. I highly recommend her services.

After my granddaughter’s school denied her 504 application, Dr. Cyra was instrumental in getting approval for her 504 and in ensuring the proper accommodations were in place for her. Dr. Cyra is a knowledgeable, kind, and caring professional who is a wonderful student advocate. I highly recommend her!
