Aspire Educational Consulting LLC
Special Education Consultant and Advocate
Why families come to me
Families come to me to find direction, support, and advocacy when navigating the often-confusing special education system. I advise on services needed and develop an accommodations plan specifically based on your child's unique needs. If needed, I go to the IEP, 504, or equivalent meeting to advocate for the rights of each child I represent. Much of my work is proactively on the front end with clear communications with the school and staff. I work collaboratively with the team to create solutions tailored to each child's one-of-a-kind-profile.
Lived experienceI worked as a classroom teacher, special education teacher, special education contact specialist, admissions counselor, administrator, and helped build a school for dyslexic students from the ground up. I have been in the shoes of all of the members of the team, including the most important team-members- the parents. I understand the implications of everything I ask for. I know because I did it too. I also have a deep understanding of the system, the acronyms, and special education law.
