It’s time you had an equal seat at the special education table and a support system by your side

You’re an expert on your child.

​

And you have meaningful information and input to share as your child’s teachers and administrators create a plan for their educational experience.

​

But sometimes you have a difficult time sharing your thoughts because there’s so much to understand about the special education process.

​

Sometimes you receive misleading information, evasive responses, or even blame…

​

Special education is just as difficult to navigate now as it was 20 years ago. And it hasn’t gotten easier for children, their parents, or their schools.

​

Colleen has worked with children with disabilities as a teacher’s aide, teacher, an early intervention therapist, BCBA (Board Certified Behavior Analyst), and a Clinical Director.

Throughout her 18 years in special education, she’s understood everyone’s perspective and has brought teams together to problem-solve across the table and meet a child’s individual needs.

​

Colleen became a special education advocate because she believes every child deserves a quality education—and that their parents shouldn’t be unsure how to participate in creating one that makes their child a top priority.
