How We Advocate for Your Family

Consultation

My relationship with the student and their family begins with a consultation where all records are thoroughly reviewed.

Holding Your Hand

After reviewing the documents, together, as a team, we will develop a master plan to be able to come to a solution that can best meet the needs of the student.

Building a Foundation

As we build relationships and create a team, your student will learn how to advocate for themselves and to take charge of the challenges that they may face.

How We Can Help Your Family

MLM Advocacy is Educational Advocacy for famililes in Westchester County, Rockland County, and New York City.

MLM Advocacy provides educational advocacy for students who are struggling to obtain special education services. I help families and students feel less isolated as I know that that the process can be confusing and daunting for families. I take the time to fully understand what may be impacting the student’s ability to easily access the educational curriculum. Both Federal and State Educational Laws stipulate that parent’s participation is not only vital, but is mandated by the law.

Respect, Inclusion, and Kindness

I know that meetings can be confusing and daunting for parents who may not understand the language of special education nor realize that they can ask questions and advocate for their children. I support families and their student’s from initial requests for evaluations, to reviewing the documents, to meeting with staff and at the meeting. I work, in collaboration, with the school district and the families to help determine eligibility for special education.

I work with families in Westchester and Rockland Counties as well as with families who live in NYC.
