My Advocacy Story
Advocating with Love
For the past 15 years, I’ve been advocating fiercely and lovingly for my grandson, who is now 18 years old. Our journey began when he was just 3. Like so many parents and caregivers, I felt overwhelmed and intimidated by the special education system. I didn’t know where to start—but I knew I had to fight for what he needed.
Through years of research, learning about special education law, and trial and error, I found my voice. I wrote letters, requested meetings, and pursued mediation when necessary. Step by step, I learned how to work with the school system—not against it—to get my grandson the services, supports, and accommodations he needed to succeed.
Today, he has a transition plan and is moving forward with confidence. That experience shaped me—and now, I want to use everything I’ve learned to help your family.
I’m here to support, guide, and empower you as you navigate the special education system. You don’t have to go it alone.
