Allison B. Vrolijk

My family hired Allison when my autistic teenage son was starting back to public school after being homeschooled for a couple of years. We were traumatized from the rigmarole of IEPs and I decided I wasn’t messing around anymore. We had to re-up with Allison one time, but we didn’t use all of the sec...ond installment, even though we had 3-4 lonnnngggg IEP meetings. After all of that, my son has a 1:1 para that is with him all day and he just finished his freshman year with 7 As and 1 B. I never dared to hope that this would be his reality, but it is! He’s so bouyed by this transformation that he’s telling me he wants to tackle reading (his greatest challenge) this summer so that he can take AP classes junior year. I’m so thrilled by the outcomes of hiring Allison- best money I’ve ever spent!!!! Thank you, Allison; you have transformed my son’s future!!!

As a parent with Special Needs children, I wanted to provide them with every opportunity to have a meaningful life. 12 years ago we realized that we needed assistance to ensure the School District was providing them an environment to achieve this and we engaged Allison for assistance. Allison took a... personal approach for each of my sons in representing us and helped develop meaningful and measurable goals specific to their needs - held the School District Accountable. Over the years I saw that she was respected and her input was welcomed by the School District. Allison was assertive when needed to make sure both of my sons receive the individual IEP and resources that were required for their growth. I have recommended Allison to many people and will continue to do so. We will be forever grateful for her professionalism, commitment and positive impact she has had on our entire family.

On a personal level, I really appreciated Allison's straightforward approach, as I knew we would always get the honest and feasible answer from her. On a professional level, we appreciated and admired how Allison had a friendly, collegial approach with the IEP team, yet pushed effectively when neede...d. I would recommend Allison to any parent looking for effective support during their child's IEP!

Allison has been an effective and powerful advocate for obtaining needed school supports for my daughter’s educational and safety needs. After my requests for support were repeatedly turned down by school officials, I hired Allison to help my daughter. Allison’s expert educational knowledge and prof...essional representation has resulted in my daughter receiving the supports she needed for the last ten years. Allison’s input changed my daughter’s education plan and teaching methods to help her learn. Getting Allison involved in my daughter’s education brought tremendous changes. I give Allison the highest possible recommendation.
