Testimonials

I’ve had the privilege of working with Linda both when she served as a Special Education Director and now as a colleague. She is incredibly knowledgeable, highly collaborative, and truly wonderful to work with—an invaluable asset to parents and IEP teams.  She brings skillful guidance and a warmth that empowers parents.  I highly recommend working with her.

Our experience with Linda was absolutely phenomenal. During each point in the process of a MET, she would take the time to listen patiently and intently; then replied with thoughtfulness, helpfulness, and—most importantly, accuracy, which guided us and gave us confidence in navigating something that was brand new to us. We are incredibly appreciative of her efforts and the knowledge we gained from her.

Linda was incredibly helpful in navigating us through ESS services, laws surrounding IEP’s and the AZ Dept. of Education. She went above and beyond to advocate for my son and ensure he received the compensatory minutes he deserved. I’m so grateful for her support, knowledge and care for our kids.

Working with Linda was an invaluable source of support while trying to navigate my son’s IEP. She helped me better understand my rights as a parent and gave clear, practical guidance on how to navigate disagreements with the school in a constructive and informed way.

Beyond her knowledge and advocacy, she also provided steady emotional support when things felt overwhelming, helping me stay focused and confident in advocating for my son’s needs. I’m truly grateful for her patience, insight, and encouragement throughout the process. I highly recommend her to any parent facing similar challenges.
