  • “Our son started school this year, and as parents we felt unsure about the little knowledge we had going into IEP meetings. Deidra guided us through the process with patience and care; answering every question, validating our concerns, and providing helpful information and resources along the way. She is not only knowledgeable in her profession but also personable, approachable, and dependable. We cannot wait to work with Deidra again soon, and we would wholeheartedly recommend her services to any family navigating this journey.”

    – Emily Duvall

  • "I have had the pleasure of Deidra being my advocate on multiple occasions. She knows the laws and guidelines inside and out. She works endlessly to make sure your child prevails. She doesn't mind getting her hands dirty. I highly recommend her services."

    – Tim Applegate

  • "Working with Deidra has honestly been a dream come true. We came to her when we felt uncertain and scared about our daughter's future and she helped us more than we ever thought possible. We cannot say enough positive things about Deidra's knowledge, compassion, and professionalism. Even though those are all great attributes, perhaps most importantly, she got us results. We cannot recommend her enough. 10/10 recommend to everyone and anyone."
