Our Mission

Our mission is simple: to advocate and educate to improve outcomes for unique students.

• Advocating: We advocate for students' and families' rights to get the right services and support for their students’ needs. This ensures they receive educational benefits that fit their unique situation. We also advocate for the correct placement in the least restrictive environment, so every student receives a Free Appropriate Public Education (FAPE) based on their individual needs.

• Educating: We teach parents and students about their rights, Special Education timelines, Child Find, how to request evaluations and services, and where to find education laws (and explain them clearly). We help explain test scores using the bell curve, assist with organizing important school papers, attend 504/IEP meetings, help file complaints at local, state, and federal levels, and prepare families for mediation or Due Process hearings. Our Facebook page is a great resource for all things Special Education: https://www.facebook.com/bdpqDyslexiaSupport/

• Improving Outcomes: We work to mediate between parents and schools to make sure students are correctly identified for Special Education. We ensure 504/IEPs are written to truly support students based on their individual needs, and that IEP goals are based on accurate data to show current academic and functional progress. We also help with writing goals and tracking progress for IEPs.

Who We Work With

We work with unique students who have a medical or school-identified eligibility, as well as those who haven't been identified yet. Eligibilities we work with include: Autism, Dyslexia, Dysgraphia, Dyscalculia, ADHD, Other Health Impairments, Traumatic Brain Injuries, Developmental Delays, Emotional Disabilities, Intellectual Disabilities, Orthopedic Impairments, Multiple Disabilities, Speech/Language Impairments, and Vision/Hearing Impairments.

No parent/guardian should walk through Special Education without someone by their side who understands how they feel. We can meet virtually or in person. I encourage you to schedule a free, in-depth hour consultation with me so we can map out the best path forward for your student. Fees are based on a sliding scale and no one is turned away due to inability to pay. We look forward to advocating for you and your unique student to support their academic success.
