-Diana, Parent of Elementary School Student

I am incredibly grateful for Joanne Grobecker. When you are the parent of a child with unique needs, navigating the IEP process can feel overwhelming and intimidating. Joanne has been a true advocate for my daughter and has helped me find my voice and confidence as I fight to make sure my daughter receives the support and services she needs to be successful.

Joanne’s knowledge of special education laws, regulations, and the IEP process is exceptional. She understands not only what schools are required to provide, but also how to effectively advocate within the system to ensure a child’s needs are truly being addressed. Her guidance has been invaluable in helping me understand my rights as a parent and making sure my daughter's needs remain the focus of every conversation and decision.

What sets Joanne apart is that she combines her extensive knowledge with genuine compassion. She takes the time to understand the whole child, not just the paperwork or the diagnosis. She has helped me prepare for meetings, ask the right questions, and push for appropriate supports while keeping my daughter's strengths, challenges, and future success at the center.

Because of Joanne’s support, I feel more empowered to advocate for my daughter and more confident knowing I have someone with the expertise and dedication to help guide us. Every child deserves someone in their corner, and I am so thankful that Joanne has been in ours. I would wholeheartedly recommend Lighthouse Advocate to any family navigating the special education system.
