Testimonials
Isabel Mabbun2025-12-20Alicia has been an incredible advocate and support for our family. Her knowledge, dedication, and attention to detail truly make a difference. She takes the time to listen, explains things clearly, and always makes sure the child’s needs are at the center of every decision. Navigating special education can feel overwhelming, but Alicia brings clarity, confidence, and compassion to the process. We are deeply grateful for her guidance and highly recommend her to any family looking for a strong, trustworthy advocate.
Zoe Jones2025-12-14I’m so glad we had Alicia Tucker as my daughter’s advocate. I don’t know how I would have survived without her. From day one she assured me not to worry about anything she has it covered. She was absolutely correct. She was well prepared and guided me through the ARD meeting process. She genuinely cared about my daughter’s education. I’m at ease knowing I have her assistance for all future Special Education needs. Thank you for everything!!!
abcdefg2025-12-09Alicia Tucker Advocate has well represented my child and my family's needs. Even when given barely a weekend to prepare for our case and 504, they, including Gina, were, in fact ready for this meeting on short notice, and well represented my child during a process that was bewildering and overwhelming. If I need such services in the future, I will definitely be contacting this organization to educate, advocate, and represent my child and family.
Lateria Quionne2025-12-02As a parent navigating the ARD/IEP process, I am so grateful we found Alicia Tucker's advocacy . She followed through on all expectations and handled the majority of the communication during the ARD meeting. She wasn’t afraid to question discrepancies in my child’s IEP and pointed out things I could have easily missed. I felt supported, prepared, and confident going into the meeting. I highly recommend her services!
Amanda Winter2025-12-01Alicia and her team are very knowledgeable and capable. They’ve helped us navigate the school system and have been great advocates for our kids.
Lakeshia Renae2025-11-24I’m so grateful that I could Alicia Tucker and Sunnye Garzata! I worked with Sunnye who is sooooo sweet and helpful, but for Alicia to open this business to advocate for children like my son is amazing. My son who has ADHD was up for explosion and Sunnye walked me through every step. Any time I needed advice she was there to assist. During the explosion hearing she was present and ready to advocate for my son. Let’s just say he did not get expelled. Thank you all so much for your help.
veronica collins2025-11-24Alicia is a great advocate.
“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”.
