DASM provides a range of educational consulting services, including support with IEP/504 meetings, discipline appeals, legal collaboration, and life coaching. Custom services are also available to address specific educational challenges.
If your child faces disciplinary action that you believe doesn’t consider their disability or rights, I can help by providing expert consultation, attending meetings, and advocating for a fair resolution through appeals.
I offer support with legal collaboration and mediation by working closely with legal teams to address disputes, ensure compliance, and find resolutions that are in the best interest of the child.
To get started, simply contact schedule a consultation. We’ll discuss your specific needs, outline how we can assist, and create a tailored plan to support your child’s educational journey.
I provide specialized support for students with disabilities by advocating for appropriate accommodations and modifications in their educational plans.
If your child is struggling academically, facing challenges with accommodations, or you feel their needs aren't being fully met in school, educational consulting services can provide guidance. I help families navigate IEP/504 plans, disciplinary issues, and other complex educational processes to ensure your child receives the support they deserve.
