Jeanine is a godsend to our family. My wife and I have three children, two of which have diagnosed learning disabilities and anxiety. It has been a major struggle in school, and receiving the help and care they so desperately need was difficult as parents to understand. We knew they needed help, but we’re overwhelmed with the IEP process and all the various technical details it entails. We didn’t want to agree to something proposed by the school (or even know where to begin to negotiate for their care) knowing it was going to be not amendable for a full year.
We decided we needed a advocate, but with so few options and so many varying reviews I wasn’t sure where to begin. After a few conversations with advocates who claimed to the best out there and could ensure our children's success, I just didn’t like the structure of the compensation and felt like I was buying a used car. We found Ms. Leech online and gave her a call.
She was very prompt in scheduling a brief information gathering interview on the phone with my wife. I immediately knew she knew all the ins and outs of the process and really cared about each child’s individual situation. Nothing was promised or claimed other than her decades of experience would provide the best plan and path for our children moving forward. My wife and I felt empowered by the call. Someone who really cared about the kids and knew the inner workings of a system sometimes knowingly setting children up for failure. It was like having the defense attorney on our side who was lead prosecutor for 30 years. Knows all the details working on the other side and the frustration that comes from not being able to help. My wife was in tears after the call that she finally can provide our children they help they needed that she never got.
A 504 plan for one child, and IEP plan for the other has gone amazing since being implemented in the spring. Don’t hesitate to call and use TheCEadvoactes for all your needs; the breadth of experience and knowledge really was shown through their ability to make us aware of programs and options for our children I wouldn’t have thought of. If in doubt, don’t hesitate to give a shout. You and your children will be grateful you did. Thank you thank you thank you!
