My name is Laura Jones and I am a professional education advocate.  

My advocacy work is set at a high professional standard and I am focused on delivering the best results for your child.  It is integral to your child's success that all members of your child's team are treated with respect and professionalism.

I employ a collaborative method that gets results and preserves your relationship with your child's school.  

I do not "do battle", I find solutions that help your child succeed.

​

I work in Michigan & Ohio, having lived in Michigan for over 25 years, and now reside in Ohio.  I live near Lima, with my husband, parents and one of our children who is still launching into the world.

​

Our family experience with special education has been both positive and negative, which undoubtably led me to work as an advocate.  I know personally how difficult the process is and how mystifying it can be at times. 

My work is about helping to create the best opportunities for children to succeed, and using the rules to create more productive and receptive environments within a school.

• Successful Outcome focus - not war with the school

• I help things turn around with schools and level the field for your family.

• Parent of Special Education Student

• Founder of Special Education Advocacy & Development (SEAD) 

• Member of The Governors Task Force for Special Education Reform - 2015 to 2018 (Michigan)

• Win-win negotiator

• Experienced advocate since 2015

Wherever you are in your process, my goal is to help you make progress towards  success for your child.  

As an ACCESS Education advocate, the focus is on your child's success and working in partnerships with your child's school. Sometimes we don't start off at that point, but normally we end up there.   Professional behavior gets professional results.

Knowledge of correct process can help you gain the best
