Personalized Support Recommendations

---

Whether you are seeking accommodations in educational settings or exploring options for emotional support animals, I am here to help you identify the most appropriate and reasonable supports for your circumstances. My experience working in collegiate and K12 educational systems, serving as a workplace ADA grievance coordinator, and my personal experience working through these systems add to my ability to guide you through the process. The goal is to  provide a well-researched, evidence-based document that empowers individuals to succeed academically and emotionally, while ensuring compliance with the frameworks of  IEP, 504, ADA, and ESA provisions. We complete this process through several virtual or on-line sessions.

Initial Evaluation &  Assessment

First, we will meet for a Initial Evaluation and Assessment session.  This may also include a parent if the you (the client) is under 18 years old. set up a start with a  where we meet with the client online. During this session, we talk about their needs and mental health history,s and we assess whether an ESA is a good fit. We also ask questions to better understand how the client feels around animals and how an ESA might help them.

Follow-up Session geared to Your Support Needs.

Individualized Education Programs (IEP) and 504 Plans:

Support is focused on in identifying the accommodations you need (the client) student needs to level the playing field between you and your peers. 

Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Support:

Guidance is provided on securing ADA accommodations in higher education environments or the workplace to ensure equal access and opportunity.

Emotional Support Animals (ESA):

Based on the Initial Evaluation and data gathered, we will explore where an ESA is a good fit. Specific assessment questions center on better understanding how you feel around animals and how an ESA might help you.  

I am dedicated to helping you achieve your full potential by advocating for the right accommodations and supports, tailored to your unique needs.
