My Story
Kelsey’s journey as an education advocate began when her youngest daughter was diagnosed with Dyslexia in 4th grade. Prior to this diagnosis, Kelsey advocated for services within the school setting for her daughter for two years. She saw the challenges and obstacles that her daughter and family faced as they worked towards finding appropriate accommodations and services that would be successful. The journey of advocating successfully for your child is extensive and emotional. Through her own experiences, Kelsey saw the need to educate herself as an advocate to empower and help other families along their advocacy journey. Kelsey pursued a National Board Certificate for Advocacy in Special Education (BCASE) from the National Association of Special Education Teachers.
