Crystal Gomez2024-05-05Getting help from Mrs. Tucker assisted in reducing the stress and feeling overwhelmed in the ARD meeting. With her help my child made more progress, improved his skills and confidence, and felt happier going to school. We love Mrs. Tucker”! Crystal, Pasadena ISD
“Mrs. Tucker’s knowledge of the special education laws as well as knowing how to educate a child with special needs, made going into the ARD very easy. She was able to advocate for what was best and what was needed for my daughter. I definitely recommend having her there to represent your child, it can get very confusing to someone who doesn’t know or understand the terms used, and before I hired her I just felt completely lost and ultimately just agreed with what they said was best. AFTER I hired her we left the ARD meeting with new and improved plans in place that will set my daughter up for success. I couldn’t be happier”!

“Mrs. Tucker always explained the testing, the IEP’s, the services, and accommodations in a way that I understood. She pointed out things that would help my child that I had not even considered. She always made herself available to answer any question I had and was always able to provide a wealth of information”.
