A Path to Access & Collaboration
Speak Up For Education Consulting, LLC
A Wisconsin limited liability company
Welcome!
I collaborate with families, schools, medical providers, and community partners to support the educational needs of children with disabilities and complex health needs. Whether a child attends a public, charter, or private school, I work to ensure that educational plans are aligned with individual learning needs.
What Sets Me Apart
What makes my services different is the level of personalization, presence, and partnership I bring to every case. I don’t just consult from a distance—I work with you, side by side.
Here’s how I stand out:
- In-person support: I can attend IEP or 504 Plan meetings in person, offering direct advocacy and collaboration.
- Tailored materials: I create personalized resources and documentation to meet the unique needs of each student and team.
- Team-based recommendations: I offer thoughtful suggestions for team members to consider—always aligned with student strengths, needs, and family input.
- Stakeholder collaboration: With family consent, I connect and communicate with medical teams, therapists, school staff, and other community partners to ensure consistent support.
- Restoring trust: When school-family relationships have been strained, I help rebuild communication, trust, and shared purpose—so everyone can refocus on what matters most: the student.
My approach is grounded in compassion, clarity, and a deep belief that collaboration drives meaningful outcomes.
