Testimonials
SEALK12 has empowered me, as a parent of two special needs children, with knowledge about my children’s educational rights, a variety of resources and tools to help me be a better parent, and most importantly the support that I need to become the best advocate for my children!
Navigating special education can be such a lonely and confusing journey for parents. SEALK12 doesn’t pave the path for you but does hike alongside you and helps you chart the right course for your child.
I am so grateful for Helen. When I started having trouble at my daughter’s school, I had no idea who to turn to or what my rights were. Helen helped me understand how to effectively advocate. She attended school meetings, helped get my daughter what she needed to be successful and created a variety of free educational webinars and documents so that I always had the answers I needed. She never charged for helping our family even though she spent many hours doing so. The world needs more people who like Helen, care about students receiving special education supports.
My daughter’s first year of school was hopeless and traumatic. I was ready to give up and pull her out completely. I met Jennifer who put me in contact with Helen, now my daughter has an amazing team. SEALs have gone above and beyond to help my daughter get all services and help she needs. Along with information and resources that are very helpful. We are truly blessed and thankful for them. Helen is amazing! Her experience, skills, and love for children is just out of this world. Thank you for all that you do and continue to do.
