What can I solve for you?
Based on my experience and knowledge of both law and special education, I can look at a pressing problem – whether systemic, school-focused, or student-focused – and help determine the most appropriate next steps. I understand the significant consequences of getting these issues wrong, from legal vulnerabilities and unnecessary expense to, most importantly, students not receiving the specialized education and support they need.
What's it like to work with me?
When serving as the Chicago Public Schools’ specialized services chief officer, I remember wishing there were an experienced resource who truly understood school districts, schools, teaching and learning, and who could come in, review our practices, and help us to to improve. I ultimately set out to become that resource. Above all, I am a problem solver who meets clients where they are, and offers practical advice and solutions that work in the real world.
