ANNIE B. CARTER

Special Education Advocate

I know parents cannot do it all. When you are meeting with school personnel to discuss your child’s unique educational needs as a parent, you simply cannot be the parent, listener, questioner, active team member, advocate and creative thinker at the same time. That is where I come in.

As a special education advocate, I work with parents and school personnel collaboratively to help ensure the individualized instruction a child is receiving meets the specific needs of that child.

As both a parent of a child with special needs and a teacher, I can see both viewpoints. I realize my unique perspective can help parents traverse the often confusing world of special education. I know the laws and procedures that govern special education, and I know how difficult it is to become an advocate for your child so that they receive appropriate services in school.

From attending school meetings, parent/teacher conferences to researching options best for each child, I understand every child is unique and offers services designed around each child and their needs. My passion is to help your child thrive.
