As a special education coach, I will empower you with the knowledge to be your child's best advocate. Every child, of any ability level, is entitled to a Free and Appropriate Public Education in their Least Restrictive Environment. Together, we can navigate the best path to build a solid Individual Education Plan for your child that includes proper related services, thoughtful accommodations, and appropriate placement. You, as a parent or guardian, are the most valuable part of your child's education team!

We'll make a list of focus points for you to take away or we can work on together.

- Volunteer at Parent Consultant Training Institute call center.
- Serve on the Boston Children's Hospital Family Advisory Council.
- Board member of the Franklin Special Education Parents Advisory Council.
