Collaborative Advocacy for Special Education Services (CASES)

My mission is to help ensure your child gets the services they need and to which they are entitled.

Why me?

You Do Not Need To Go Through The Process Alone

The Special Education process can be overwhelming for anyone. As your advocate I will support and guide you through the entire process. We will prepare for meetings together. Meetings can become more efficient and effective with an experienced education professional at your side to highlight your rights and increase school accountability. You will have someone who can answer your questions along the way.

Benefits of using an Educational Advocate

You will have someone guiding you through the IEP process that has over 30 years of experience attending IEP meetings, someone who has written countless IEP’s, and will review all your child’s educational and medical records, which may include Neuropsychological Reports, School Evaluations, Medical Records, Progress Reports and Report Cards.

Collaboration is Key

I will maintain open communication with you and work to get the accommodations and the services your child needs. You are your child’s best advocate, however, the paperwork and system can be overwhelming to navigate. I will work and collaborate with any and all professionals such as doctors, psychologists, therapists, family service agencies and lawyers. Collaborating together we will get your child the free appropriate public education they are entitled to.

What Happy Students & Parents Say

“Lee is a passionate and tenacious advocate. She was always available to answer any questions we might have. We would highly recommend Lee regardless of where you are in the IEP process”

– Ian

“Lee was so kind and supportive I cannot thank her enough for all of her help! She helped me throughout all of the IEP meetings. She explained the difference between A, B, C Grids along with the difference between modifications and accommodations and helped my son get what he needs to be successful in school.”

“As a former high school guidance counselor who worked alongside Lee I will never forget how she went above and beyond for all students. She created a nurturing and inclusive environment where every student would flourish.”
