My practical guidance is grounded in my perspective as a current administrator and my experience in special education best practices. I’ll give you solid explanations for confusing processes, questions to ask of your administrators, and actionable advice for next steps.

Understanding what’s happening to your student, and why, as they go through the special education system can be a challenge.

That’s where I come in. As a student services school district administrator, I know how complicated the special education system can be. While the federally-mandated Individuals with Disabilities Education Act provides the backbone for states’ implementation of special education services, there’s a lot of room for interpretation in the law as to how districts operate. 

I’m here to help you navigate everything from eligibility timelines to your students’ IEP. If you’ve struggled with least restrictive learning environments, haven’t been given prior written notice, don’t understand eligibility categories, need help with a 504 plan, or are worried about excessive suspension or expulsion, get in touch.
