Special Education Advocate and Trustee

There is always another way!

I was on Child Study Teams as:

  • Speech Therapy professional,

  • Case Manager in elementary school, and

  • Parent for my son for two decades.
    And I did it all as a single parent.

Laura Weinberg can help.

Ask How Not to Be A Blind Sheep

I have helped special needs families for 25 years. I will answer questions and refer you to state organizations.

You can expect more from special education.

There are options, but a parent may see just one. I represented myself and filed for due process. I was repaid for home programming. I got my son placement in a school that was not yet approved by the State. I got him out-of-district placements that he liked.

Get help to navigate IEPs, special education options, and adult services:

  • the adult developmental disability system - NJDDD,

  • the early intervention system in NJ,

  • the school system for special education,

  • special needs trusts and financing your adult with special needs,

  • and more.

NOTE: special education or advocacy services are not “medical,” not reimbursed by insurance, and note covered by HIPAA.
