Advocate On Call

Parents Beware!
Don’t take the schools word for it.
Too many times in past months I have had parents calling me to say “the school said this, the school said that.”
Check with an expert!
The school wants to Lord over you. They want you to feel belittled. They want to be the almighty, end all, be all authority.
Well, I’m here to tell you they’re NOT!
Much of what you are being told is tantamount to a manipulation tactic, or a scare tactic. Don’t be fooled!

This is your child and their education we are talking about!

How much is that worth to you?

I now have very reasonable rates for those of you who just need some answers without having to pay a retainer fee, and don’t want to get involved in lengthy litigation or IEP meeting after meeting.

Do you want results?
I have the answers!

I’ve been advocating for families and dealing with Child Study Teams for IEP’s, 504’s, and children’s rights in education for almost 20 years now.

For a minimum fee of $50 ph you can engage and get your answers from a professional when you need them via phone conference, face time, or skype.

Set up an appointment with our “ADVOCATE ON CALL.”
(973) 534-3402
or email for a time to specialneedsnj@hotmail.com

Cheaper than a haircut, mani/pedi, or palm reading
Isn’t your child’s education worth that much?

  • Power Struggles – Why is everything a battle?
  • “Sibling Rivalry” – Are you a referee in your own home?

  • Tantrums – From toddler’s to teens…learn to tame the tantrums from an expert in behavior.
  • Whining – Wean them off the whining for good…and so much more.

  • Linda is a trained Special Educator with years of experience working with behavior difficulties

“I saw improvements after my first session with Linda. It was great a breath of fresh air to know that I’m not doing everything wrong, that my son isn’t ‘bad’ and that it took just a few small changes I could make that would have such a huge impact.”

Linda is a knowledgeable and experienced parenting coach and teacher, and we gladly recommend her to all the parents we can!” – Karen Welcome
