Scaffold empowering families through advocacy
At the core, I am an educational advocate dedicated to helping children thrive in school and beyond. I have worked with families to navigate complex educational systems, advocate for individualized learning plans, and provide guidance that empowers both students and caregivers. In my new role as Chief Educational Director at Scaffold, I continue this work, now alongside a multidisciplinary team of therapists, educators, and family support specialists. Together, we offer families an integrated approach—combining advocacy, therapeutic insight, and practical strategies—so children can succeed academically, socially, and emotionally. My philosophy is simple: every child deserves support that meets their whole self and addresses the root of the problem. I partner closely with families and schools to ensure plans are actionable, realistic, and tailored to each child’s strengths and needs. |

"The IEP process can be very confusing and complicated. However, with Lucy's expert guidance we were able to save so much time as well as potential frustrations. At the end of the process we were able to achieve all of our goals and needs, which I don't think would have been possible without Lucy's help."
