As a special education advocate, I am not only professionally dedicated to helping children and their families, but I am also personally invested in this cause. I am a mother of a child who has special needs, and I have personally experienced the challenges and frustrations that come with advocating for my own child's education. Through my own journey, I was able to successfully advocate for my child and secure a non-public placement that has made a tremendous difference in their educational experience. This personal experience has fueled my passion and determination to help other families navigate the same process and achieve positive outcomes for their children. I understand the unique struggles and emotions that parents face, and I am committed to being a supportive and knowledgeable advocate for those who need guidance and support in the special education system.
