Advocacy Writing

Advocacy writing that drives clarity, confidence, and meaningful change.

Books, articles, and tools that help caregivers, advocates, and professionals navigate complex educational systems with precision and purpose.

The Book Every Foster Parent, Educator, Case Worker & Advocate Needs

From Placement to Graduation and Beyond is the practical field guide for anyone fighting for a foster child's educational future. It covers how to navigate IEPs and 504 plans, understand the educational rights guaranteed under federal law, communicate effectively with schools, and build the academic stability children in care desperately need.

Substack Articles that Break Down Trauma-Informed Strategies

Each article translates research on trauma, brain development, and educational policy into strategies that foster parents and child welfare professionals can use immediately.

Topics include how trauma disrupts learning, what caregivers can do at home to support academic growth, how to advocate effectively in school meetings, and what the research says about what children in foster care actually need to graduate.
