I wasn’t sure that we needed an educational advocate because we were already experienced with special education in our school district by the time our youngest child was in need of services. However, after consulting with Meredith, I quickly realized that we could benefit from having her on our team. I am an advocate in another field, so it wasn’t easy to let someone else take care of this task for my child, for me. By doing so though, I was able to focus entirely on being my child’s parent and let Meredith handle the rest. This took a load off my shoulders, the weight of which I didn’t fully realize until she picked it up. Meredith is real. She truly understands the struggle from the perspective of both the child and the parent. She adapts to the needs of her clients and gets the job done compassionately, professionally and confidently. - MB
Meredith was extremely knowledgeable in special education regulations, which was integral for getting the appropriate services our son needed. Meredith was very dependable and able to contribute to meetings, both in person and remotely. She demonstrates a passion for helping students and their families, thereby reducing unnecessary stress and anxiety. We highly recommend Meredith to be a part of your team if your student or family requires her services. - SS
Meredith has been an invaluable resource in my daughters’ educational journeys. We first started working with her when my eldest was in kindergarten, and now, as a high school sophomore, she recently guided me through revising her 504 plan to better meet her current needs.
When my younger daughter began school, she struggled as a reluctant reader. Meredith’s guidance led me to have her independently evaluated for speech, and with evidence of her progress through outside therapy, I successfully advocated for the school to create an IEP to address her learning challenges. Most recently, Meredith has been instrumental in supporting her through algebra and managing test anxiety.
Meredith consistently listens to my concerns and collaborates with me to develop actionable solutions. Her expertise has empowered me to confidently advocate for my daughters’ education, and I am deeply grateful for her ongoing support. A.T.
I would like to write that when I pulled my autistic son out of kindergarten, the school told me it couldn’t be done! When I reached out to Meredith she took me step by step through the process! I have used her for four years, and I couldn’t be happier! I highly recommend Meredith K.S.
We "met" Mere our first year as a homeschool family. Everything was brand new and we were nervous about having it all together. Mere did a fabulous job walking us through the entire process and outlining everything we needed to make our evaluation process go a smoothly as possible. She takes the time to put my kids at ease too. I cannot recommend her enough! M.P.
Meredith has been an amazing and understanding evaluator. We were looking for an evaluator that would understand unschooling but also be able to handle special needs cases if we needed one for our son with a speech delay and that's how we found Meredith. She is thorough and respectful of our time but it also feels like we are catching up with an old friend. She wants us to do well but also makes you feel good about all that you accomplished throughout the year. We highly recommend Meredith for homeschool evaluations! R.W.
