We think the world of her Carol and started working with her before our son was in 4th grade (he is…read morenow a sophomore in high school doing very, very well!), when we were beyond frustrated with the lack of help the school was offering our struggling son. Carol is completely knowledgeable about what the school's obligations are, what our rights are and is able to communicate very convincingly and strongly on our behalf. We would not be where we are today with a an IEP that truly addresses our son's needs without Carol. Her work has had a profound impact on our son's life - she's been amazing getting us the resources and accommodations he needs to be successful. We bring her to all of our meetings - not all of her clients do - but I wouldn't THINK of going into a meeting at school without Carol.

The below is my experience, and my opinion when I used Educational Advocacy & Consulting…read more If your reading this, you probably have some kind of problem with your child, and or the school system your in, I only hope the best for you, as parents and caregivers our job is to prepare the child for the world, and for the child to be self sufficient . They will grow up faster than you know. All school systems are different so my experience may be different than your own. My little guy was getting kicked out of his second school, and he was only in the 1st grade. He has a DX of AD/HD and learning disabilities . I knew he was in trouble, I have sat in IEP meetings before, listening to all they had to say, and I was not buying their answers. I was not going to let my little man be warehoused until he aged out of the system, with no future, because he had not learned anything. So I called EA&C. The short answer was, they got him in a better private school, and he is doing well, and learning. His future is brighter because of this. Before I called EA&C I felt like I was in a foreign land, even though I had studied the rules, I still did not know them. EA&C evened the playing field. EA&C are experts in the field of educational advocacy , and of what can be done and what can't be done. Don't be surprised if you hire EA&C, to go to IEP meetings, the school system will have a new member on their team too, that new member being a "school attorney" Make no mistake,( for me) even when you call EA&C you still have to fight, for your child. They will do a lot but you still have to keep swinging. The school administrators may and probably will end up disliking you , because you called in the heat, and rocked their boat. I guarantee you, none of them administrators and school professionals will be at your child's graduation, when they age out of the system, with a sub-par education. The only thing I did not like about EA&C was they were poor in answering emails, that said, I would hire them again. Semper fidelis Stay in the Fight

We get weekly update emails from Ms. Belinda, photos and occasionally videos of our daughter doing her work, a folder of her work for her to show off to us every Friday, and absolutely no homework. The school also has early drop off and late pickup which is perfect with our work schedules. I wish I could have gone to this school as a kid and I am so grateful that it is here for my daughter.

During Communion at Saints Peter and Paul Catholic Church, my daughter approached the priest, bowed…read moreand had one hand on top of the other to receive the Eucharist. Instead of offering guidance, he repeatedly told her to "do it properly," but never explained what he wanted her to change. He then began questioning her religion, asking whether she was Catholic or Christian. After she responded that she is Catholic, he said, "then do it properly" she was unsure what he wanted her to do differently, then he said again, "Are you sure you're Catholic?" Again she replied yes, I am Catholic. Shortly before this interaction, the priest had taken the Eucharist away from a young man who had said he was Christian. The priest began scolding him while the young man respectfully was nodding that he understood. The situation was uncomfortable to witness and felt unnecessarily harsh. It seemed like a missed opportunity for a compassionate conversation about the Catholic faith, especially since the young man was attending Mass and clearly showing interest. Although my daughter ultimately received Communion, the interaction was prolonged and uncomfortable. She was not given clear instruction only public questioning about her faith. My daughter approached respectfully and reverently. Being questioned in that way, in front of others, left her embarrassed and shaken. She was crying when we got home, which was especially heartbreaking because she was the one who had asked to go to Mass that day. Reverence for the Eucharist is important. However pastoral guidance should reflect clarity, dignity, and compassion. Interactions like this can leave a lasting impression on young people who are trying to grow in their faith. I hope this feedback encourages more compassionate and thoughtful handling of similar situations in the future.
