Advocacy Support
My approach is to review what is working, what is not working and utilise up-to-date research on best practices in special education, and your child’s unique preferences to come up with strategies that will work for your child.
I have an in-depth knowledge of the legal framework that schools across Australia adhere to, as well as what types of supports are common and reasonable to request.
If you are looking for comprehensive information to better prepare you to attend a meeting with your child’s school; or to have an advocate attend a meeting with you, I can help.
We’ll meet via Zoom to discuss your particular situation and make an action-plan.
Pricing starts at $135/hour, and will include travel time if you request I physically attend a meeting.
The unfortunate reality is: many inclusion/special education teachers in Australia are not trained or skilled in teaching children with disabilities. They do the best they can with what they have and know, but sometimes our kids need more.
That’s where I come in - my background (tertiary study + experience across P-12) allows me to see the areas your child’s school is missing.
I work, first, from the foundation of your child being and feeling safe in school. This primes their neuro-physiology to be able to learn.
Then, we can start to address supports and adjustments that can be made in the classroom that will work for your child. Every child is unique and there is no such thing as supports that are appropriate for every child with ADHD, or every child with dyslexia, or every child with autism
