Help with IEP

Amy is amazing. She is very educated in the school systems across Minnesota, knows the laws, rights of parents/ students and helping with IEPs. Like many parents, we reached out to Amy when we couldn't find the right solution and challenged with our school district. She was calm, unbiased and an a...dvocate for our child. Her interactions were swift, professional and resulted in a positive environment for our child.

Help with IEP, FBA IEE, and litigation settlement of disputed manifestation determination claims

Amy is very knowledgeable, compassionate, and always advocates for the lawful needs of the learner (Free Appropriate Public Education in the Least Restricted Environment). She helped us to challenge incorrect claims made by the school district, that harmed our child, and as a result, we were able t...o get appropriate resources for his IEP, and accommodations of his learning needs, as mandated by law - Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). She also ensured that the district is being held accountable for their actions and required them to review and improve their practices, as mandated by the Minnesota Department of Education rules and regulation. We are very grateful for Amy's expertise and would highly recommend her. In our interactions with her, we found Amy always prompt and responding to inquiries the same day, and genuinely wanting to help on a personal level, beyond her law content expertise.

IEP and IEE Help for my child

I asked for help for my child in school over quite a few years. I couldn't get the school to listen. Amy helped me understand what we needed to ask for and she helped us get it done. Now we have our child on an IEP and we got an IEE done. Without Amy's help we would not have understood our rights a...s parents and we would still be begging the school for help.

Amy is extremely talented!

Amy is extremely knowledgeable in Minnesota Department of Education rules and regulations. She helped us with our child's IEP and made sure the school understood their responsibilities in following it. We have recommended Amy to several people and would hire her again if the need arose.
