My Beliefs
-
Schools, teachers, and administrators are well-intentioned
-
Public education is a complex system - antiquated, fragmented, and reactive
-
The primary focus of the system should be on "whole child" development
-
Children - especially those with disabilities - often become lost in the system
-
Success requires a supportive team of knowledgeable and experienced adults advocating for the child with benevolence, compassion, and clarity

There are NO education or credentialing requirements for a person to engage in business as an "Advocate" nor are their legislative or regulatory frameworks for practice of Special Education Advocacy.
NOT EVERY SPECIAL EDUCATION ADVOCATE IS CREATED EQUALLY
My unique blend of professional growth and accomplishment - combined with a diverse personal background of failure and success - allow me to offer you and your child unparalleled knowledge of the school environment and to provide the compassion that comes from the perspective of a life deeply lived.
I look forward to an opportunity to serve you!
