The GVR Perspective: Expertise Rooted in Experience
“Special education is not just something I understand professionally — it is something I have lived as a parent.” - owner
As a longtime teacher and the parent of a child who had an IEP from preschool through graduation, I know how overwhelming the process can feel. I remember getting the diagnosis when my baby was 2. My world was shattered. I never heard of Autism. What now? What does this mean? My goal is to help families understand the system, ask the right questions, and feel confident advocating for the services and support their child deserves.
