FAQs

My student does not have an IEP, but I suspect they might need one. Can you help me?

Yes. Allison can assist with cases in which the child is currently undergoing an evaluation for Special Education or whose family suspects a disability and needs help navigating the school system to request a proper evaluation.

How will you advocate for my child?

Allison takes a collaborative approach to advocacy, helping families navigate public education in a non-adversarial way. She is not a lawyer and cannot provide legal advice for due process cases.

What does a typical year of IEP advocacy look like?

This varies based on your needs. Some families just need a second set of eyes on special education paperwork, while others seek a full support system, including on-site student observations and step-by-step IEP guidance. When you start working with Allison, she'll tailor a plan to fit your specific situation.

Do you offer in-home services or take insurance?

No. Allison only offers IEP advocacy and school consultation services through private pay.

Will you work directly with my child?

No. Allison will work with you, as the parent or guardian, on school-related matters and can provide her professional recommendations related to educational services and supports for your individual child.

Do you take cases outside of Washington state?

Allison provides advocacy services within Washington State. If you're outside the service area, virtual support is available, or travel options can be discussed.
