Who We Are

Success Stories

Success Stories

We understand how difficult it can be to navigate the New York City Department of Education (DOE). Parents can spend an enormous amount of time exploring different programs or simply trying to understand their child’s education rights. The process can be overwhelming. Our more than 45 years of experience means we know the system inside and out. We put our experience to work for children who would otherwise fall through the cracks.

Early Childhood
Read stories about preschool special education and transitioning to kindergarten.

Students with Disabilities
Read stories about students with autism, dyslexia, and other disabilities in need of appropriate special education services and school placements.

Immigrant Students & English Language Learners
Read stories about enrollment and services for dual language learners. 

Students Facing Disciplinary Issues
Read stories about children with behavioral challenges, students facing suspension, and court-involved youth.

Students in Temporary Housing or Foster Care
Read stories about students experiencing homelessness and children involved in the child welfare system.
