I understand the complexities of general and special education process in Massachusetts and I tailor my services to meet your child’s unique educational needs. My perspective is based on personal and professional experience, which I passionately put to work on your behalf. Fundamental to our success working together, is me getting to know and understand your child so I can advocate effectively for his or her educational needs. I firmly believe that every child deserves educational services that will help him reach his or her full potential. I enjoy helping my clients understand their child’s unique educational profile. Together we create a long term goal for your child and a strategy for success. I am passionate about assisting parents voice their concerns and help them create a vision for their child. I firmly believe that a commitment to building an appropriate foundation for a child is the key to an independent future.
