"We have worked with Loren for the past several years, and it has consistently been a very satisfying experience. Tensions and emotions can run pretty high when advocating for your child. Loren brings a wealth of knowledge, and at the same time a calm to every IEP/meeting. She is on top of the laws governing special education, knowledgeable about the entire process, always well-prepared, direct, and focused on the best resources and services for our child."

SPECIAL NEEDS
Autistic Education, Asperger’s Education and Special Needs Education in
Los Angeles
It’s not easy meeting the often-complicated physical, mental, emotional, and educational needs of autistic children, children with Asperger’s or children with other special needs. You are the expert on your child. No one knows more about him or her than you do. Your parental knowledge is extremely important to the educational process and finding the right school.
The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), recognizes your importance and expertise as a parent. The law encourages your participation as an equal member of the team that will decide the educational placement, support, and services your special needs child will receive. From my experience as a parent of child with border line Asperger’s and from many years of working with educators, I have a fair amount of insight into the education process, and the advocacy tools that work.
With my multidisciplinary background in education, law, health statistics, sociology, and biology, as well as my activism in gifted and special needs education, I particularly enjoy working with parents of challenging children who have borderline diagnoses. In addition, I work with the highly gifted population, who may have emotional issues as well as learning disabilities. This population is especially challenging because it is particularly difficult to qualify them for services.
