ABOUT ME
AS THE MOM OF A NEURO-SPICY EIGHT YEAR OLD WITH MULTIPLE DIFFERENCES/ EXCEPTIONALITIES, I KNOW FIRST HAND THE STRUGGLE OF TRYING TO NAVIGATE THE SPECIAL EDUCATION SYSTEM IN ORDER TO ACCESS THE AVAILABLE SUPPORTS AND RESOURCES.
OFTENTIMES OVERWHELMED WITH RECIEVING/ UNDERSTANDING A DIAGNOSIS, WE ARE SUDDENLY CONFRONTED WITH THE EXPECTATION TO EDUCATE OURSELVES IN A WHOLE NEW SYSTEM FULL OF UNKNOWN LANGUAGE, FORIEGN TERMINOLOGY, RULES, LAWS, AND ELEABORATE PROCESSES THAT DIRECTLY IMPACT OUR CHILDREN’S WELLBEING AND FUTURE SUCCESS.
AFTER YEARS SPENT EDUCATING MYSELF AND TIRELESSLY ADVOCATING FOR MY OWN CHILD, I HAVE AMASSED A WEALTH OF KNOWLEDGE, RESOURCES AND PROFESSIONAL CONTACTS THAT I WANT TO SHARE IN ORDER TO SPARE YOU THE EXORBITANT AMOUNT OF TIME AND ENERGY REQUIRED TO DO IT ON YOUR OWN.
I AM HERE TO HELP.
IN ALLYSHIP, MEGAN ROSS PENDERLEITH
