Lawyering alone won’t provide the best outcome

Enid’s experience in the schools and overall background knowledge was a huge asset in helping me accomplish more than I ever could have imagined for my son’s education.  Prior to working with Enid, I worked with a lawyer who wanted me to take an aggressive approach with the school district.  Although this lawyer had extensive knowledge of the laws, she lacked the knowledge of the school environment and IEP development.  In contrast, Enid encouraged me to take a collaborative and proactive approach when working with the school district.  This allowed us to develop the best plan possible for my son, while keeping our relationship with school staff in-tact.  In a short time, Enid had a strong understanding of my son’s difficulties and strengths and was able to clearly explain the process, and what my next steps should be.  Her deep understanding of the IEP process, educational vocabulary and the law, as well as her clear, thorough explanations gave me the confidence to be a powerful advocate for my son in meetings. She informed me of my many rights and gave me the language to effectively communicate to expedite the process.  She provided all services remotely via phone and email.   I have learned so much from Enid that I am now helping other parents navigate the process.
