I worked with Lara during my transition from EI to CPSE.  Lara’s help was invaluable!  She helped me navigate the process and system and taught me how best to advocate for my daughter.  Lara pointed out key pieces of information that I should highlight in my meetings that allowed me to drive the conversation and get the services that my daughter needed.  She made me feel empowered as a mom, in charge of my daughter’s future.  Not only did Lara help get the desired outcomes, but she is just a pleasure to have on your side.
