"Knowing Carinne was on my side and walking me through the special education process for my child meant everything. I would not want to do this alone and I'm so glad Carinne was recommended to me. I am so grateful."

"We didn’t realize how much more help we could could be getting from [our son's] IEP and we trusted what the school had to offer. We left so many services and evaluation off the table because NO ONE TOLD US. Having an advocate made ALL THE difference in trying to give our son a real chance. I highly recommend giving Carinne a call if you feel like your child isn’t getting what they need."

"We can't thank you enough for your help. We appreciate you taking us through the entire IEP process and explaining in layman's terms what was happening along the way. I will for sure be back for the P.E.A.C.E. Protocol coaching for myself!"
