Whether you're a parent or a student yourself, I can be there to support you. I've advocated for students' needs not only in my role as a special educator, but also in helping parents prep for IEP/ARD meetings, students self-advocate as minors and adults, and in my own child's life with a 504 plan. I didn't receive services myself growing up because my learning disability wasn't recognized, and I hate to see that happen to others. I know how to identify student needs and goals and communicate those needs to school staff.
