The Advocate

Hi, I’m Michele-Your Ally at the IEP Table.

As the mother of two children with disabilities, I know what you’re going through. My experience drove me to help others find a smoother path.

“When our child was struggling to read, testing at a kindergarten level in 3rd grade, we felt overwhelmed and unsure where to turn. From the very start, Michele asked the right questions and took the time to understand my child’s unique needs. Her deep knowledge of what the school was required to provide, along with her guidance on what to ask for, gave us the clarity and confidence we needed. She anticipated challenges with school administration and provided invaluable recommendations for accommodations that truly helped our child.”

-Carrie C., Parent, Maryland

“I am the mother of a 6 year old boy. He is currently in grade 1. I am very happy and grateful to Michele because she has helped our family wholeheartedly. She has supported, contacted the school with me, and participated in meetings with the school to bring benefits for my child. My child has autism but we did not

know what to do to find a way to get him evaluated and ask for benefits for him. My family was lucky to know Michele, she did it. She helped my child get more attention, cooperated with the

school to get an AAC device at home for him to learn communication. In addition, he was also approved for an IEE.”

-Thi N., Parent, Minnesota
