I work with parents and guardians of students with disabilities to hold educational sYSTEMS accountable so your child can succeed.

In addition to serving your family, I partner with nonprofits, community organizations, school districts, and legislators to create an inclusive and equitable educational environment for all students.

Relocating or Changing Districts

Moving to or from Colorado, or just to a new district? I help families tighten up IEPs, 504 plans, Behavior Intervention Plans, and Advanced Learning Plans so they’re clear and enforceable before your child changes schools.
