A Parent's Perspective

As a parent of a son with autism, I also understand the education system from a personal perspective. I recognize the challenges families may face when navigating educational programs, supports, and services.

This unique combination of professional expertise and lived experience as a parent allows me to support families with both knowledge and empathy. My goal is to help parents feel informed, confident, and supported as they advocate for their child and work collaboratively with their school team.
