Guidance.  Advocacy. Solutions

When a student is struggling, parents and educators are often left asking: What’s going wrong? What support is needed? Who should help? As an experienced Speech-Language Pathologist and Certified Academic Language Therapist, I serve as an educational consultant to bridge the gap between concerns and solutions.
Whether you are a parent navigating school services or a school professional seeking expert collaboration, I offer insight, direction, and practical tools to promote student success.

What I Offer

Case Reviews & School Consultation
Review of educational records, previous evaluations, teacher reports, or IEP documentation to identify learning profiles, areas of concern, and appropriate intervention options.

Guidance on Evaluations & Diagnoses
Help families and professionals determine what kind of testing is needed (language, dyslexia, cognitive, etc.) and how to interpret results accurately and meaningfully.

IEP/504 Support
Provide input on accommodations, goal setting, and service planning. I can collaborate with your child’s educational team to ensure learning needs are fully understood and supported.

Professional Collaboration
Work alongside teachers, therapists, and school staff to align classroom instruction with research-based strategies, especially for students with language-based learning disabilities.

Parent Coaching & Empowerment
​Support parents in understanding their child’s unique needs and rights within the educational system. Help prepare for school meetings or advocate effectively for services.
