I had no experience with speacial needs and had to learn the hard way. My daughter has CP, epilepsy, global development delay. Had surgeries, had status epilepticus, stayed in hospitals for months. Learned to advocate for a non-verbal child while caring for two other kids one younger one older. Later went back to school and got my LMSW degree and now working for LCSW. Working in a psychiatric hospital while raising kids and managing being a full time assistant to my daughter with disabilities.

Ashley Traylor

Special Education Advocate

I am a non-attorney special education advocate with a master’s degree in special education and nearly two decades of experience supporting students with disabilities and their families. My background includes work as a special education teacher, education consultant, and parent advocate, which gives me a strong understanding of both the school and family sides of the IEP process. I support families with IEPs, 504 plans, evaluations, eligibility, behavior plans, discipline concerns, transition planning, and parent participation in meetings. My goal is to help families feel prepared, informed, and confident while working collaboratively with school teams to address the student’s individual needs. I am also a parent of a child with disabilities, so I understand how emotional and overwhelming the process can feel. I believe families deserve clear information, practical support, and someone beside them who can help translate the paperwork, organize the concerns, and keep the focus on the child. My advocacy style is calm, collaborative, and solution-focused. I help families understand their rights, ask meaningful questions, review documents, prepare for meetings, and communicate concerns clearly and productively.

Caitlin Sweeny

Special Education Advocate

I have been a social worker in the medical field for over four years now. I support families in identifying needs and resources revolving around mental health, school, the medical system, and insurance. Previously I worked as a case manager helping foster youth and young adults navigate school challenges and housing. I feel most passionate about mental health and school challenges. I often meet with families who have been struggling to find support for their child's needs. Parents feel depleted and exhausted by the systems. I help them prioritize their needs and find the best ways to get connected to the right people.

Michelle O'Neil

Insurance & Medicaid Advocate

I am both a registered nurse and licensed professional counselor in addition to being an adoptive parent of child with special needs and licensed foster parent. Since I began my nursing career in 2012 and then counseling career in 2021 and motherhood in 2023 I have had a passion for helping those in need, supporting holistic health from a physical, spiritual, and mental/emotional perspective, and working together with whole families. I would love to use my professional and personal skills to support others who are needing an advocate in their corner as they navigate finding and feeling supported in their journey.
