Additional Educational Advocacy Services
Navigating the school system can feel complicated and overwhelming for many families. Understanding your child’s educational rights, interpreting school documents, and communicating with school teams effectively often requires guidance and clarity.
With over 15 years of experience coordinating and facilitating collaborative teams in IEP, eligibility, transition, and 504 meetings, Kara helps families better understand the educational process and the services that may support their child’s success.

This background allows her to guide families through complex school systems with clarity while helping them better understand their child’s strengths, needs, and available supports.
Her approach focuses on clear communication, thoughtful planning, and collaboration with both families and school teams. The goal is always to ensure that conversations remain centered on the student’s needs, strengths, and long term success.
