Where i started?
Active in the field since 2004. The school system is not easy to navigate, but we know how. Our goal is to provide parents with the advice and support they need. We assist in explaining procedures, regulations and policies. Advocating for children is something that requires the highest level of standards and expectations, and we bring that to the table. This is why we rely on an evidence-based, data-driven approach when advocating.
The Story
After my move to Washington, I attended an intensive advocacy training program through a non-profit. This program taught me to help struggling parents navigate the school system and alternative therapies, something I've been passionately doing since.
Today at Aliada I advocate so each student receives the support, services, accommodations and modifications necessary to thrive. I ask questions, evaluate the data and make sure there are specific clear and measurable goals. I empower parents and help them feel solace knowing that together, we make sure their child has an action plan and the tools needed to soar.
