Special Education Advocacy and Educational Consultancy for Parents

Educational Consultant, Dr. Danielle Cohen

Special Education Advocacy

With over 15 years of dedicated experience in special education, I have developed a deep understanding of students with unique learning needs. My background spans roles as a special education teacher, IEP Compliance in a large public school district, and Assistant Director of Pupil Personnel Services for a Connecticut school district. For the past three years, I have passionately advocated for parents, leveraging my extensive knowledge of IEP compliance to offer tailored support and advocacy for children with special learning and behavioral needs.

I holds certifications in special education from both New York and Connecticut. I earned my Bachelor’s degree from Rollins College, a Master’s in Childhood Education from Hunter College, and a Master’s in Special Education from the College of Saint Rose. Most recently, I completed my doctorate in Educational Leadership at the University of Bridgeport, focusing my research on childhood trauma and ADHD. I am currently a first year law student at Vermont Law and Graduate School.

My expertise and commitment make me an invaluable resource for families seeking to navigate the complexities of special education and ensure their children receive the support they need to thrive.

Educational Record Reviews and File Organization

I offer record reviews of your child’s educational records in which I will take an in-depth, comprehensive review of all materials from report cards, grades, IEPs, 504s and evaluations. I synthesize all of the information into a tracking document for you to have a comprehensive overview of your child’s plans and evaluations. I will provide a written report of recommendations and records in an organized digital file for you to keep for your records.
