BIOGRAPHY
Welcome to
Child Focused Solutions CT
After completing Special Education Advocate Training 2.0 (SEAT) through the Council of Parent Attorneys and Advocates (COPAA) I established Child Focused Solutions CT to help parents advocate effectively to obtain educational services for their child. I am passionate about this work and available to help.
As a former classroom teacher, homebound tutor, and mom of twins who receive special education services, I know your frustration with trying to fight for the educational services your child needs and is entitled to. I also have the training and experience to assist you in identifying goals and truly understand how to navigate the process.
Testimonials
Kechisa M., Parent
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.
Diane Willcutts, Education Advocate
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.
