Services

You don’t need to know the right acronym to ask the right question. I help families understand special education records, identify gaps, prepare clear requests, and work toward practical next steps.

Nationwide: document-based advocacy

Available remotely for families throughout the United States. Services are tailored to your state’s rules and individual situation.

• IEP review: goals, services, accommodations, progress monitoring, and alignment with documented needs.
• Evaluation review: plain-language findings, follow-up questions, and requests for additional evaluation as appropriate.
• State-specific research: locating and organizing relevant education rules and parent guidance.
• Written correspondence: letters and emails requesting evaluations, services, meetings, records, or implementation of agreed supports.
• Transition planning: preparing for school transitions, adulthood, and greater independence.

Massachusetts & New Jersey: direct advocacy

In Massachusetts and New Jersey, I can offer additional hands-on school advocacy, depending on location, timing, and the family’s needs.

• Pre-meeting strategy, agenda development, and parent priority statements.
• Participation in IEP and other special education meetings, remotely or in person as agreed.
• Communication with school teams and district staff, with parent authorization.
• Review of meeting outcomes, written notices, service delivery questions, and follow-up correspondence.
• Support organizing concerns or disagreements, including preparing documentation and written requests.

Transition planning & practical independence

For students preparing for a new school, postsecondary programs, employment, or adult services, I help families organize the conversation about what comes next. That may include transition-focused IEP goals, self-advocacy, executive functioning supports, and coordination questions to bring to the right agencies.
