Success Stories

Sarah P.

“We were concerned about our daughter’s reading. We had already requested support for her and were told by the school that it was ‘too soon to test’ because she was only in first grade. Katie was recommended to us and until then we had no idea of our daughter’s rights under the law. She went through the whole process with us and made sure we understood all of the confusing language and contradictory information. With Katie by our side, our daughter was found eligible for special education services and is finally getting the support she needs!”
