School Advocacy & Consultation
As a trained School Psychologist, I provide a bridge between clinical diagnosis and classroom reality. I help families navigate the complexities of IEP (Individualized Education Programs) and 504 Plans, ensuring your child’s legal rights are protected and their educational needs are met.
Integrated Support
I believe that a diagnosis is only as good as the support it creates. Because of this, advocacy is often woven into my core services:
Included with Assessment: When I conduct a psychological evaluation for your child, basic school consultation—including a review of the results with the school team—is included at no additional cost.
Integrated with Psychotherapy: For my therapy clients, I provide ongoing guidance on school-related concerns and rights as a standard part of our therapeutic work together.
Independent Advocacy Services
If you already have a diagnosis from another provider but need expert help navigating the school system, I offer standalone Advocacy Consultation. This is an out-of-pocket service that can include:
Detailed review of existing school records and outside evaluations.
Guidance on your rights under IDEA and Section 504.
Attendance at IEP or 504 meetings to provide professional input.
Assistance in drafting communications to school administration.
Why Work With a School Psychologist?
Unlike a general advocate, I have spent years working inside the school system. I speak the "language" of the school team, which allows for a more collaborative, less adversarial approach to getting your child the accommodations they deserve.
