Advocacy & Consulting for Children With Disabilities
Supporting Families Across California With School, Services, and Systems
Navigating special needs services can feel overwhelming and isolating. Between IEP meetings, Regional Center processes, and endless paperwork, many families are left trying to figure things out on their own. You don’t have to do that. I provide personalized guidance, advocacy, and parent-centered support to help you understand your options, protect your child’s rights, and confidently navigate every system involved in your child’s care.

Beyond systems and services, parents need support too.
