I’m April, a parent who understands firsthand how challenging it can be to navigate special education and advocate for your child. My journey began when I started advocating for my own son, which inspired me to become a special education teacher. I hold a Bachelor’s and Master’s degree from West Texas A&M University, a post‑graduate certificate in Educational Diagnostician studies from Stephen F. Austin State University, and I am currently pursuing advanced studies in Special Education Advocacy at St. Mary’s University School of Law. This combination of classroom experience, diagnostic expertise, and specialized training allows me to provide parents with informed guidance and practical tools for navigating special education processes.
