What people are saying.

  • "Kate has been an amazing resource for our family in addressing our daughter’s learning challenges. She provided guidance throughout and helped to reduce my stress during a new and overwhelming process. She validated our concerns, walked us through the IEP evaluation, and explained each data set in the report. Understanding the results and options before our IEP evaluation meeting helped me to be a more confident advocate for my daughter, which is intimidating when surrounded by a team of experienced educators. After the IEP results meeting, we regrouped to talk about options and next steps. It is empowering to feel like we are now managing our daughter’s learning plan, while also accessing the appropriate educational resources provided by the district. I highly recommend Kate for any parent questioning how to effectively approach or manage this process."

  • Kate displays warmth, expertise, and fearless advocacy to her work with families. We were fortunate to partner with Kate and one of the families she represents while completing a school-based Functional Behavior Assessment and Behavior Intervention Plan. Throughout the process, she skillfully helped the family navigate the complexities of the IEP, FBA, and BIP processes while promoting open and productive collaboration with the school team.

    Kate brings a calm, thoughtful presence to the table, even during challenging conversations. At the same time, she advocates confidently and persistently to ensure that each student’s needs remain at the center of the decision-making process. Her knowledge, preparation, and ability to build trust were especially evident during the IEP meeting.

    Kate is an exceptional advocate and a tremendous resource. Any family would be fortunate to have her guidance, support, and fearless advocacy as they navigate the special education process.
