"Carinne's P.E.A.C.E. Protocol revolutionized my family's life. Previously, I felt isolated in my struggles as a parent of a special needs child, drowning in daily tasks and feeling overwhelmed. My son’s anxiety made any change seem impossible. Carinne guided me, restoring my confidence in handling challenges and fostering pride in my child. Her weekly recaps after our sessions kept me accountable and motivated. Now, our family enjoys a newfound sense of peace and empowerment, and I’m so grateful to have found her."

"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."

Carinne has been a wonderful IEP advocate for our family. She is the most responsive, clear and concise communicator I have ever worked with! She is always able to assist with reviewing data, providing suggestions on IEP goals, and is very knowledgeable and gives you the confidence you need walking into tough IEP meetings. Carinne also brings expertise as a previous educator along with the perspective of what it is like to have the perspective of a parent with special needs. She truly is an invaluable partner to have!
