Lee Ann, Lake Oswego School District Psychologist

The special education process can be stressful and emotional for both families and staff. I have worked with many advocates and attorneys during my 30-year career, and have not always had the most positive experience. Alexa is a true gem! She has boots-on-the-ground teaching experience, knows the law, and most importantly, is able to bring stakeholders together so the focus remains on what is truly best for the student. I was very impressed at how quickly she grasped the complexities of the situation, and how skilfully she managed to help everyone feel heard and supported. Alexa was instrumental in helping the team work towards a positive outcome. When I am asked for recommendations in the future, she will be first on the list!

A Certified Special Education Advocate Offering Tailored Support for Unique Educational Journeys

A Commitment to Families & School Districts

Alexa's ABCS is here for anyone navigating the special education process, including, but not limited to families seeking guidance and clarity for IEP, IFSP, 504 plans, and advocacy in early childhood special education. We contract with school districts needing outside behavioral support, and organizations dedicated to developmental disability services. Together, we can create a more inclusive, understanding, and empowering educational environment to make a difference for everyone.

Educational Advocate

Navigating the road to securing the right educational resources for your child can feel daunting. I'm here to lighten the load, offering guidance, attending school meetings (IEP, IFSP, 504 plan, etc.), making sure your voice is being heard (IDEA law), and providing support every step of the way.

Functional Behavior Assessments

As a licensed behavior professional, I work closely with families and schools to address challenging behaviors and conduct Functional Behavior Assessments. These assessments support the creation of Positive Behavior Support Plans. I am available to perform Independent Educational Evaluations (IEE) and serve as an independent contractor with Oregon's Department of Human Services.
