Here's how I can help you ...
 
 

IEP and 504 Plan Advocacy:   Negotiating effective, well-designed IEP / 504 plans.  Through 25-plus years of experience highlighting intuitive mediation skills and first-hand knowledge of every aspect of the special services maze. No one should ever go it alone!

 

ADD/ADHD, Aspergers, & Autism Spectrum:   Expertise in health-impairment and medical conditions significantly impacting learning; majority of my clients have children with ADD/ADHD or on the Autism Spectrum. These exceptional children have gifts and talents requiring extraordinary learning conditions and related accommodations; a one-size-fits-all format will not work for kids who are exemplify a "square peg in a round hole".  

 

Behavior & Instructional planning:   Collaborating with school personnel in developing appropriate goals, objectives, and behavior management systems toward academic success. Most students achieve leaps & bounds when consistency and appropriate follow-through are well coordinated.  Expertise in curriculum, instruction, and an intuitive understanding of children guides my practice. 

 

School Selection:   Consulting with parents through public & private school choice aligned with each child's needs and long-range plans.  Serving families pursuing both Special Ed. and Gifted Education placement.  

 

Workshops & Presentations:   Empowering audiences through powerful skills in support of effective parent advocacy.  Presentations open doors for parents who have struggled in the past with the special education process.  User-friendly strategies, inspiring stories, and laughter highlight these workshops.
