Education Consulting and Advocacy

Strategic Consulting

Educational Strategy ~ Crisis Communications ~ Conflict Resolution ~ Compliance

We are a New York metro-based highly confidential professional education consultancy firm that delivers strategic advice to parents navigating complex school district or university issues. Specialties include educational crisis management and support, communication, IEP/504 plan development, behavioral issues and HIB incidents. We help you understand and navigate specific and complex matters which may arise in the educational environment such as securing the appropriate evaluations, needed services, navigating alternate placement issues or code of conduct sanctions so public school parents or University students and families can make informed decisions on a level playing field. The firm serves in the student’s best interest and positive outcome in routine school issues, special education process or in those unfortunate and complex high stakes situations.

Why are we unique?

We have been inside Districts and Universities through Federal Office for Civil Rights and Federal Student Aid Investigations, Corrective Relief and Resolutions: Support and critical information can alleviate stress for families facing educational challenges in public schools and public and private higher education when selective interventions and corrective action and resolution is required. This includes a safe school climate and campus safety and security.

The firm has provided crisis intervention strategy and consultancy for Abbott Pre-K to University clients. We are subject matter experts with decades of experience working on and with federal, state, District and Board policy to achieve resolution and compliance. When daunting issues arise, parents and students are not dealing with schools districts, child study teams and Boards: rather unknown to them, they are faced with high powered specialized legal entities and law firms and this requires the best advisors.

Consultation Advocacy Meeting Representation Empowerment

All students deserve an equal and inclusive school or university environment. This includes an educational environment free from discrimination, harassment, targeting, and restrictive placements. It also includes equal treatment as similarly situated peers and securing a free appropriate public school education [FAPE] in the least restrictive environment [LRE].

We provide in-person and on-line guidance and support. We begin with a consultation which may be followed by retained services of the firm through direct representation or advocacy empowerment. Our firm allows direct visible advocacy services as well as confidential consulting and empowerment for parents where the advocate remains undisclosed.

The firm serves in case management should issues arise that require the filing of investigative complaint requests which seek remediation and corrective relief to insure equal education. We also provide assistance with mediation and other federal and state process of resolution as well as referrals to legal counsel when needed.
