SBC Advocates supported our family in the IEP process for our son. Having an BCBA well versed in school based services behavioral goals and interventions was invaluable. We are grateful for their support in meetings and reviewing all the IEP documents making suggestions for goal revisions and helping us understand when things felt overhwelming.

My wife and I have a teenage girl who has needed long term care. She has been suicidal for years. The school district did not seem to care. We had been asking the school to provide long term care because we are both teachers and know that they are required to pay for this.Although we are teachers we were still both ignored until we found Kristen Carmi. She is a fighter and was very responsive and more affordable than I thought. After 2 trips to the ICU in a month and nearly 20 hospitalizations and with Kristen holding the districts feet to the fire we finally got them to pay for long term care. I truly believe that Kristen Carmi saved my daughters life.
