Narrative

I am an educational advocate for children/students with special educational needs, collaborating with parents/guardians to fight for individualized supports and services on IEP's. I provide consulting services to students who graduate from school and transition to higher education or vocational experiences.  I also offer a social work component of my business to assist families with in-home supports and wraparound services. I prepare and assist in Guardianship, DMH, and DDS filings. 

I am an Educational Advocate Expert Witness for the Committee for Public Council Services Vendor. 

I have advocate in the states of Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Arizona, Rhode Island, California, Florida, and New Jersey, as well as New Hampshire and Maine.
