Darling Pediatric Therapy
IEP Advocacy Services
Helping Parents Navigate the School System with Confidence
The IEP process can feel overwhelming and confusing. You want the best for your child, but it’s not always easy to understand school reports, special education laws, or how to make sure your child gets the right services.
That’s where I come in.
As both a licensed pediatric clinician and a former classroom teacher, I bring a unique perspective that bridges home, school, and therapy. I help families feel prepared, confident, and supported every step of the way.

Why Families Work With Me
Families choose to work with me because I understand both the educational system and the therapeutic needs of children. I bring these perspectives together to give parents the knowledge and confidence they need to advocate effectively. My approach is rooted in collaboration rather than conflict, supporting families and schools in working as a team to ensure every child has the opportunity to succeed.
