Helping you advocate with confidence
Special Education doesn’t come with a handbook - but I’ll help you write your child’s success story.
IEP meetings shouldn’t leave you feeling lost.
I’m here to guide you through every step - from confusing evaluations to emotional meetings - with expert insight and real life experience. Whether you’re just starting your journey or deep into services, I help you feel prepared, empowered, and in control.
At Advocate and Elevate, we believe every child deserves a team that sees their strengths, supports their needs, and champions their future.
We know how overwhelming special education can be - confusing acronyms, emotional meetings, and a constant feeling of “Am I doing this right?” That’s why we’re here.
Our founder isn’t just an experienced educator and advocate, she is also a parent of an autistic child. She’s sat where you are sitting now. She feels uncertainty, the fear of missing something important, and the frustration of not being heard. This work is both professional and deeply personal.
With over 15 years of experience in education and student advocacy, we understand the system from both sides of the table. We’re here to bridge the gap between families and schools, helping you step into every IEP or 504 meeting with clarity, confidence, and a solid plan.
Our mission is simple: To empower families, support children with disabilities, and advocate for services that truly make a difference.
We’re not here to replace your voice, we are here to amplify it.
Whether you need guidance preparing for a meeting, reviewing documents, learning the lingo, or understanding your rights, Advocate and Elevate is your partner in the process.
