Allison B. Vrolijk

Allison helped us with an IEP plan, classroom placement and negotiating wirh Fulton County Public Schools. She taught us about our rights and gave us the confidence to stand up for our son. He went from being in a self contained class to mainstreamed in general education with a paraprofessional to as...sist him. I truly believe none of it would have happened without her.

Allison’s wise discernment was a godsend in meeting my son’s ( Noah) educational needs. She was was very attentive & honest. We had an in house consultation where she brought to my attention things that needed to be addressed in my son’s IEP. His IEP went from a seven page IEP to a 16 page IEP aft...er receiving help from Allison. She has attended numerous IEP meetings with me since our initial consultation. I know presently my son receives services that I had never considered when I first consulted her. I am so thankful I asked her to be a part of Noah’s IEP team. After her help, I believe communication between my son’s school & I is so much better. The school & I are not adversaries but are a team in meeting my son’s needs. That is in some part because of Allison’s discerning eye is guiding what is best educationally. I would advise anyone to consult with Allison because you will leave much better prepared than you are presently.

My child's middle school tried to block my child's access to a 504 Plan even after we had a comprehensive Psycho-Educational exam and report showing he was profoundly ADHD and only needed simple accommodations. Thanks to Ms. Vroliijk's knowledge of the law, my child's rights, and the education issues..., the school granted the 504 and knowing we had an attorney, the 504 Plan is implemented and improvements have been suggested. Allison met with my husband, my child and me, then secured a retainer, met with us again, attended the 504 meeting at the school, reviewed the plan and had many phone and email conversations with us. At the end of the process, we were refunded unused retainer promptly. A year later, even without a retainer, Allison has answered simple questions before our annual 504 Plan review. I highly recommend Allison Vroliijk!

Allison gives meaning to the word professional. Honest, sincere, intelligent, and caring, there is no one better equipped to handle the needs of a family with a special needs child. Though we have thus far received what we have needed through our school system, she has guided me with expertise and ...compassion through the process and as we approach a looming problem, there is no one else I would even consider using to represent my child. However, Allison will not beat around the bush, taking your money while telling you what you want to hear; rather, she will tell you what you need to hear to produce the best possible result for your child. With Allison you can rest assured you are in good hands.

I contacted Allison when my son was diagnosed with ADD and I was faced with the enormous task of navigating the school system to get him the help he needed without much success and a lot of frustration. Several moms in a group I’m a part of referred me to Allison and highly recommended her. Allison t...ook her time to speak with me and listened to my concerns and then explained the laws and options for me to ensure my son would be able to realize his maximum potential. With her guidance and expertise, I was empowered to advocate for my child and take an active role in designing his education plan. She has great passion for her work and what she believes in and has made it her life’s mission to use her immense knowledge of the school system, special education advocacy, and the law to help give parents the best chance of securing a bright future for our children. I highly recommend Allison’s service to help you become the advocate your child needs!
