Special education advocate in Tucson. Statewide expertise, delivered to Southern Arizona families navigating Tucson’s large and varied districts.
Tucson is a city of districts. Within a fifteen-minute drive you can cross Tucson Unified, Catalina Foothills, Flowing Wells, Amphitheater, Marana and Vail. Each one writes its own IEPs, staffs its own programs and interprets Arizona’s rules in its own way.
Families come to us in Tucson for the same reasons they do in Phoenix: a child who is struggling without a clear explanation, an IEP that exists but does not deliver, or a district that has decided the answer is no before the meeting began.
We work remotely and in person throughout Southern Arizona. Records review, meeting preparation and document drafting are all handled the same way regardless of distance, and we attend meetings by video or in person depending on what your team allows and what your family prefers.
Tucson Unified is one of the largest districts in the country. That scale means excellent specialized programs exist — and it also means families need to know exactly how to request them. We help you identify the specific program, the entry criteria and the documentation that supports the request.

Yes. If you disagree with the district’s evaluation, you can request an independent educational evaluation at public expense. The district must either grant it or file for due process to defend its own evaluation.
