"JoEllen Shea has been a life changing teacher and advocate. She helped me attain an IEP for my son when he was in second grade. She also taught him in sixth grade. Today, he is a successful junior in high school. He still has an IEP that has allowed him to succeed in school. The IEP process can be heartbreaking, complicated, and tough. Ms. Shea guides parents and students through this grueling process in an honest and caring way. Her knowledge and advice changed my son’s life. I am truly grateful that she helped my son succeed as a student and me, as a mom."

"I worked with JoEllen Shea for many years. Her devotion toward children with special needs is admirable. She constantly advocated for her students and was dedicated toward them receiving the services that they aptly deserved. She came to meetings fully prepared with both data and evidence to support her students. Parents were appreciative of  JoEllen’s insight regarding her advocacy and support throughout the process."

"JoEllen Shea helped our family enormously when we were told our child would need special education services at school. She walked us through the IEP process and made sure we understood everything we were signing. Her background in education was another bonus. She has years of experience teaching in the public school system and has a very real sense of what is best for children."

“I worked with JoEllen for over 17 years at multiple school sites. I can truly attest that her knowledge of education and IEP’s, compassion for children, and advocacy skills are top notch. I would not hesitate to hire JoEllen for my own childrens’ or students’ advocacy needs. Her experience and passion cannot be compared”.
