Mediation Specialist
We will navigate the Mediation Experience for you in an assertive, compassionate and child centered manner.
IEP Advocacy
Our IEP advocacy services include creative solutions to student services that may not be contained in the school district’s format, and mediation concerning issues related to the IEP. This includes collaborating with the school district to provide a document and plan perfectly suited to the individual needs of the child, and IEP advocacy when the school district refuses to provide an important service.
