Testimonials

Finding Alexis during one of the most difficult times we’ve had as parents was like being pulled to safety by a rescue boat! She calmed our anxieties and helped us see straight. Not by taking over, but by supporting and guiding us every step of the way. We were so impressed by her professionalism and dedication to our situation. Alexis is passionate and genuine. Her confidence and experience helped us advocate for our child. For that we are forever grateful.

Alexis was a wonderful advocate for our daughter who was in a difficult placement in school. She had a perfect way of educating our family and the staff, helping us all together, in the best interest of our child.

Alexis is an amazing advocate that focuses on a collaborative partnership to ensure the best needs of the child are met. Through Alexis’ guidance, I felt empowered to ask for appropriate and realistic accommodations and truly partner with the school. I have seen such a positive change in my son’s school experience since engaging Alexis in the process and look forward to our continuing work together.

Alexis has helped our family so much. She is very down-to-earth, and easy to work with. She replies very quickly to messages. We were so overwhelmed by some educational issues that were impacting our daughter’s education, and Alexis helped us sort things out, attended IEP meetings, and we felt less intimidated. She helped us navigate through confusing documents and was always available to newer questions. She made an always stressful situation easier to deal with by being there to support our family.

Forest Hills Public Schools Parent

Alexis is highly knowledgeable about educational and special educational law. She is a fair and fierce advocate, and truly only wants what is in the best interest of her clients. Whenever my own clients seek advocacy services or want to learn more about their rights as parents of a child receiving special education services, I send them straight to Alexis.

T. Teshima, Duncan Lake Speech Therapy

Alexis and I worked together to assist a client whose child was not receiving appropriate special education services and had not been properly identified as a child with a disability. It was a very difficult and complex case due to the family’s unique situation and the child’s needs. I was so impressed with Alexis’ knowledge of the resource landscape and special education law, as well as her exacting organizational skills. She provided the client with a written advocacy plan and helped the parents – who were understandably overwhelmed with paperwork and information – navigate an extremely complex set of systems with many moving parts. I am so glad we have Alexis supporting parents in Michigan – I would not hesitate to refer any client to her.

Your comments were very helpful towards my husband and I making an informed decision. Thank you so much for taking the time to respond. I greatly appreciate the experienced professionals like yourself who take the time to help parents who are trying to navigate new territory.

California Parent

My son had a IEP that he was loosing at school because he had tested out of speech. I had requested school testing for certain areas that he struggles in. I received those results and it was like reading a foreign language. I didn’t know where to start to begin to get him the resources he deserved. I reached out to Alexis, she quickly reviewed the results, broke them down into a language I could understand and helped me prepare for my requests during the school meeting. My son currently has a 504 plan that helps him succeed. Thanks Alexis!

Alexis taught my son while at Skyline High School in Ann Arbor. Alexis was consistently energetic, optimistic, and encouraging with my son and with me. She was very helpful in developing and implementing his IEPs. My son thrived under her instruction and guidance.
