Educational Consultant

If you are looking for an educational consultant who can create practical solutions to research or public policy issues, I offer services for organizations & individuals in order for them to acquire current information & gain new insights from “the field.”  Utilizing my extensive multi-disciplinary analytical experience, as well as formal education in law (JD), education (EdD), & Health Science (Health Statistics & Research; MS), examples of educational consulting projects I have worked on include:

• Analysis & testimony of special education needs & appropriate school placements of children involved in divorce & custodial proceedings in family law court.
• Analysis & testimony in cancellation of removal in deportation proceedings in immigration court regarding children with special education needs, including giftedness.
• Data analysis & curriculum drafting for gifted & special educational curricula for charter school applications & renewals.
• Data analysis of school seats required for projected student populations for environmental impact reports (EIR).
• Program evaluation of community impact of university outreach programs.
• Data analysis & evaluation for secondary & post – secondary school accreditation.
• Guest lectures on the college / university application process (including receiving accommodations on the SAT / ACT,  evaluating college disability programs, college planning for senior high school students, & community college transfers), special education (including educational advocacy, collaboration at the IEP table, finding an appropriate special education classroom aide, & pre – school / kindergarten readiness for children with special needs), the highly gifted (including dropping out & early college / university entrance), adults with learning disabilities (LD), etc.
