Who we are
The staff at Wanzenberg & Associates are professionals within the special education field who seek to guard and improve services for students of all exceptionalities. What we believe
We believe that families of children with special needs typically have the passion and expertise needed to fully advocate for their IEP rights. Our professional experience suggests that parents often requ
ire more preparation and support to fully participate in the special education process. The need for external advocacy arises when special education services are not
accessible
available
appropriate, and/or
effectively provided (Schloss, 1994). The need for external advocacy also emerges when the concerns of family or child are suppressed or ignored. Who we serve
Our clients include formally identified IEP and 504 students, students not yet identified, students with disabilities who have exited service. All share a common trait: services and outcomes should be improved to maximize educational benefit for your child. Our clients include children in Early Childhood Education (ECE) programs, elementary school, middle and high school age, and high school graduates who require coaching and monitoring beyond public school (college, agency, employment, etc.). What we do
We evaluate your child’s current program, gather your input and vision, and assist you in working with schools and specialists to effectively make positive adjustments. We specialize in planning for transitions which occur from grade level to grade level, building to building, or high school to the adult world. We offer tried and tested recommendations based on years of cumulative experience in the school setting in order to assist in each family’s vision.
