Our Services

Melissa Stein, M.A.L.T.SpEd., CAS, provides special education consulting and special education advocacy for families of children with disabilities. Melissa specializes in Autism, other social emotional disabilities, and “hidden needs.” 

Melissa Stein ensures your child's school has gathered adequate data to fully understand your child's unique strengths and needs, their disability, and its impact on their current and future performance outcomes before working with school teams to create Individualized Education Plans (IEPs) including SMART goals, appropriate supports, accommodations and modifications, school-parent communication, and services that leverage your child's strengths to achieve their social-emotional, behavioral, and/or academic goals. 

We help parents avoid common challenges, including identifying when schools are not providing appropriate special education, communicating with school staff and leadership, preparing parents for IEP meeting messaging, attending IEP meetings as a special education consultant, and monitoring school compliance with parental rights and procedural safeguards.
