Family Education Advocates
Welcome to Child Focused Solutions CT
We collaborate with parents and schools to develop solutions focused on your child's unique learning needs.
Often, school districts are reluctant to hear that what they are offering isn’t working for a student or refuse to consider alternatives. Having an advocate to amplify the parent’s voice at the PPT and help understand testing and data can make all the difference in improving not only their child’s education but their overall happiness and self-worth. We specialize in special education advocacy in the Greater Hartford area.
How Do I Know If I Need an Advocate?
Do any of these scenarios sound familiar?
✔
I have mentioned these things to my child’s teacher, but they tell me…
“He/She is a great kid; they will be fine they just need to put a little more effort into their work.”
“We have him/her in an intervention group, so they are getting everything they need….” Same story 6months later and your child is still struggling with little to no progress being made.
“Your kid just needs to try harder; they aren’t motivated enough to get their work done.”

✔
A few of the Red Flags to look/listen for from your child.
“I hate school.”
“School is too hard.”
“I’m dumb, I don’t know anything.”
Even if they don’t articulate why, your child is anxious about attending school.
✔
“I am beyond frustrated and don’t know what else to do to help my child!”
If these scenarios feel all too familiar, then calling Kate to discuss your options is a great next step to understanding the special education process and how to get your child an appropriate and meaningful education.
Reviews
Thank you so much I really appreciate your support it means the absolute world to me and Keli. It has really helped me to maintain a healthy attitude when working with the school district because I know how vocal I am at times and now I have learned that some things are left to be written because if it's not in writing it didn’t happen and having a paper trail is essentially the best way to go. Kate has been amazing with the detailed letters as well as speaking out when needed so yes I trust her.
Kate is hands-down the best intern I have ever had! She truly “gets” how to effectively navigate special ed. And she has a passion for this work that I think is essential for success. She won’t back down on trying to get ANYTHING that the child needs. I have complete faith in her skills, and I say that about very few advocates, even those who have been in practice for years.
