Honesty And Ease With IEPs

In this time of cutbacks, you need someone on your side to help you maneuver through the politics of educating your special needs child. There are idiosyncrasies… little known rules and peculiarities within the school system that puts the average parent at a huge disadvantage in assisting their child.
Laura came to our attention through a school official that wanted to see our son succeed and knew Laura could knock down barriers. We have never looked back. We would not dream of going into an IEP without Laura. She has pushed for our son and got results. She understands the law and its nuances. Thank you Laura for everything you have done advocating for the success of our son!

The world of public school education is confusing for any parent. When your child is in need of more than the «average» student, the confusion can become an overwhelming maze with seemingly no light at the end of the tunnel.
As a parent of one of those extra special kids, it can difficult at best to navigate the twists and turns of special education, student services, and the legal rights and responsibilities of the school, district and parents. After working with other advocates in the past, we sought out the assistance of Laura at Honesty and Ease with IEPs. What a difference one person can make! With her help, we now feel that our daughter is accessing all aspects of her education and we have the legal document to keep everyone (including us) accountable. No matter how much reading and research I did to educate myself about this complicated system, nothing compared to the expertise that Laura has and the invaluable guidance she provided to us. Her presence with us at meetings with the school system created the environment we needed to reach the results we desired for our daughter.
Laura has experience, professionalism, excellent relationships with school and district personnel, and a heartfelt compassion to work on the behalf of parents and children. We tell everyone that working with her is a worthwhile investment. Our only regret is that we didn’t contact her sooner!

When we needed someone to help us navigate through the confusing — not to mention intimidating — maze of our school district’s special ed system, in order to ensure that our special needs preschooler get the right support and services for his disability, Laura Sullivan came to the rescue!
Without her, we were completely lost and vulnerable, despite doing hours of internet research, reading books and talking to other parents. Laura provided us not only with a «map» but the language as well, that we needed to learn to communicate with the school district effectively.
Our son has come a long way in the year since Laura started consulting with us and advocating for us. With early intervention being so critical, we are ever grateful for her knowledge, passion and support.
We highly recommend her to anyone in need of advocacy services (or someone to consult with regarding special education) in the greater Sacramento area. She’s awesome and has helped us so much!!!
