Educational Advocate in NJ, NY, VA, DC, & MD

Philosophy

Whole-Family Approach

My approach to educational advocacy is holistic — working collaboratively with the student, family, and school district. By working together, the family and district become educated about the strengths of the student, and we can match needs with the services available to develop an individualized education plan that delivers a quality education.
