What people are saying.

  • “Our case manager was not seeing the problems we were seeing.”

    Working with Cherylynne, before, during, and after the IEP team meeting, I was able to get the principal to call for data collection and get the case manager and other teachers to come up with ideas to move things forward and support my student, to reduce the stresses that were triggering my middle schooler.

  • After getting a recommendation to talk with Cherylynne,

    I found someone who was a good sounding board for me to recognize how poorly the school was doing for my child. She helped to develop a timeline of my child's history throughout school and become clearer on what my child might need moving forward. She proactively found deadlines for public school options as we considered our options.

    Cherylynne is very knowledgeable, genuine and caring and was heavily invested in my child's success. While we ended up moving, it was a comfort to have someone who I knew saw my student for their strengths, could help us understand our rights for support with clarity, and help with my execution of communication. We are so grateful for Cherylynne and her support of our family.

  • "The school gave a day's notice for a placement change"

    I responded by calling for an IEP team meeting. The last-minute substitution of an administrator who knew nothing about our student nearly sent me over the edge. It was a relief to know Cherylynne was taking notes to capture the whole thing. Those notes helped with our due process case.
