Inner Circle Advocacy

My name is Joanne Terrasi and I, too, am a parent. Over the last 20 years, I have evolved into a special education advocate. Since 2003, I have been offering support on the special education process to parents who have children with learning disabilities.

Advocacy for me began when I enrolled my nonverbal son with autism into preschool and had to stare down 19 years of IEP meetings. I understand the difficulties and demands of parenting a child with a learning disability and I know how hard you have to work to get the programs your child needs to access their public education.
