Testimonials
Lisa Flores is the kind of advocate every child deserves in their corner. She has an incredible heart for kids, and never loses sight of what matters: doing what’s right for children and their families.
-Sylvia C.
I reached out to Lisa when I was at a point where I didn’t know what else to do. As a special education teacher myself, I understood many parts of the process and knew some of the challenges families face, but I was still my daughter’s mom and I knew something wasn’t right. I just couldn’t pinpoint exactly what was missing. The school and I were constantly bumping heads, and I needed someone with the knowledge and experience to help us move forward. Lisa stepped in with compassion, expertise, and professionalism. She helped keep the ARD meetings calm, focused and centered on my daughter’s needs. She spent multiple hours reviewing information, working with me and ensuring we addressed every concern. She not only advocated for daughter, and helped us get the support she needed, but she also taught me how to advocate for myself as a parent. Today, my daughter is thriving because we were able to get the right supports. Lisa gave me confidence, knowledge and tools I needed. I recommend her to every family who feels overwhelmed, unheard or unsure of what steps to take next.
