- Serving families across Pennsylvania
- A COPAA trained advocate

Why do you want an advocate?
- You know something isn’t right.
- Your child is struggling.
- You’ve attended meeting after meeting.
- You’ve been told to wait and see.
- Your gut tells you your child needs more support-but you’re not sure what to do next.
Whether your child has:
- Dyslexia
- ADHD
- Autism
- Learning Disabilities
- School Refusal
- Anxiety
- Poor Social Skills
- Executive Functioning Challenges
- Speech Concerns
- Behavior Concerns
I’ll help you understand your options and advocate collaboratively for the services your child deserves.
Disability is a natural part of the human experience and in no way diminishes the right of individuals to participate in or contribute to society.
- My child needs more help in reading/writing/math.
- Does my child have dyslexia?
- Do we need special education services?
- My child has a disability and gets bullied at school.
- I know my child is struggling but what can I do?
- I attend the IEP meetings, but I don’t understand any of it.
- My child is being pushed through-they can’t even read!
- We have a 504 but it’s not helping.
- We have an IEP but my gut tells me it’s not working.
- My child hates school and is refusing to go. Why?
- I keep getting the runaround.
- What are my rights? Procedural safeguards?
