What People Are Saying

 

“L&F Educational Associates made me feel empowered for the first time in 12 years of my sons education. I suffered years of what felt like bullying and suppression. I had spoken to multiple advocates and lawyers. No one made me feel as comfortable and supported as L&F Educational Associates. I recommend their services to any family in need of educational guidance.”

“I was blindsided at my daughters initial evaluation meeting. I was read off a bunch of numbers with no context or explanation. Kristen Flannery represented us the entire time. Her knowledge of Special Education regulations was remarkable. She defended my child, explained results to me, & achieved proper academic placement for her needs. ”
