Jakeline Magaña2024-08-27Alicia worked with us to help our 5 year old receive the individualized IEP he was meant to have at school and made everything happen within one week of reaching out to her. Our son is high functioning ASD and had been placed in the wrong program in school due to a misunderstanding. The school mentioned they would try to get everything situated but wanted me to leave him to start the program until they could schedule an ARD meeting. Unfortunately I wasn't going to leave my son in school to attend a wrong program while they figured it out... The next day I reached out to Alicia and on that same day she reached out to the school and placed in the right classroom while his program was being sort out. A week later we attended the ARD meeting and we received everything in the program that he was supposed to have! We are very grateful for Alicia , without her I wouldn't of known how to navigate this situation. Not only was she in constant communication at all times, she is a very kind and understanding person. She always took her time listening to our needs. ❤️ I highly recommend her!
Marcus Abdo2024-08-26Alicia helped get my child the services he needs. We were able to setup resources with the school in a timely manner. She is very knowledgeable and the best person to sit in on a ARD meeting.
Elizabeth Walker2024-08-20Alicia Tucker is amazing and truly cares about our kids. I’m still working with her concerning my son with discrimination and I can tell you she is on top of everything. My family and I truly appreciate her
A C2024-08-08Mrs Tucker is caring, knowledgeable and the person you want sitting with you on an ARD table. She will go over all your concerns before the meeting and will let you know what laws are there to help protect your child. She goes over everything in detail. I believe every parent needs a good advocate like Mrs Tucker.
James Wittenbrook2024-07-11She is definitely in it to help the children! After receiving her info from a family member I’m super grateful for all her help!
“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”!
“Getting 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”!
“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”.
