As a parent, you may want to know more about special education law and how it applies to your student. The world of special education can be confusing and complicated. I can assist families understand their rights, the evaluation process, and help them collaborate with schools more effectively to meet their individual needs.

​

I have supported families and students in pre-k through college age for a number of years and have developed 504 and Individualized Education Programs (IEPs) for eligible students under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA).

 

To qualify, a student must meet specific criteria set forth by federal and state laws and regulations. A medical diagnosis does not always guarantee school-based or special education services. For more information please check the Colorado Department of Education, Special Education Office here.

Common opportunities for consultation include:

• Assisting families understand and advocate for Individualized Education Programs that meet the child's needs

• Helping clients navigate the Special Education process

• Attending special education meetings in schools 

• Observing children at school and providing recommendations to parents and teachers 

​

My goal as a special education advocate is to help parents navigate the complex world of special education, meet their child's unique needs, ensure effective collaboration with schools, and most importantly support families as a team.
