What Parents Are Saying
" I felt truly supported by Dr. KAS from the very beginning. She took the time to educate me on my rights, answer every question, and fully understand . What stood out most was her responsiveness and dedication; I never felt alone in the process. Dr. KAS is not only highly knowledgeable, but deeply passionate about what she does—and it shows. I wholeheartedly recommend her to any parent who wants strong, effective advocacy for their child."
Parent of a 3rd grader, Pennsylvania
"We are grateful to have Dr. KAS, as our family advocate. She has helped us navigate the meetings with the school to make sure our daughter is set up for success. She also answered any questions we had for at home success."
Parent of a Kindergartener, Minnesota
"Engaging Dr. KAS was a turning point. Through her advocacy, I learned that my child’s IEP had failed to address critical needs, including emotional regulation, executive functioning, sensory supports, and documented medical concerns. It also became clear that key processes—such as conducting an FBA and implementing a BIP—had been neglected, and that prior IEPs were inadequate based on available data and input. Dr. KAS brought deep expertise and unwavering commitment. She helped me understand my rights, prepared me to advocate effectively, and ensured my voice was heard. In meetings, she professionally but firmly held the district accountable, questioned insufficient recommendations, and ensured all supports, services, and goals were appropriate and clearly documented. As a result, my child now has a comprehensive, meaningful IEP that truly addresses his complex needs, includes measurable goals, and ensures accountability for his progress."
Dr. KAS is amazing. She helped us get my son’s IEP corrected to benefit him and allow him to succeed. We wouldn’t be where we are without her. Dr. KAS is very knowledgeable in special education and has an amazing ability to help families. She helped my son regain his confidence that he could be successful in school with the right tools and support.
