Paulette Selman Advocacy

I help families navigate school systems - special education, Section 504, interventions, mediation, and dispute resolution. With my experience as a school psychologist I can help you understand your child’s rights, and collaborate with school staff to arrive at solutions.;My years of school district experience put me on equal footing with school staff and administrators. With your permission, I am able to communicate directly with teachers, school psychologists, related service providers (SLP, OT, PT, etc.), administrators, and special education management. My approach is collaborative and I’m committed to working WITH school staff, not against them, in arriving at the best plan for your child. At the same time, I understand parental legal rights, how to communicate disagreement, and how to arrive at solutions with school staff.;Every parent needs a partner, and teamwork leads to the best outcomes for kids.;With online tools, advocacy services are now available nationwide.
