Highly recommend! Alicia clearly has a true care for her clients and passion for her work. From the moment I reached out to her, she took the time to answer any questions/concerns I had for our upcoming school meeting (that afternoon), and made sure I felt confident about our rights and expectations going into this meeting alone. After that meeting, I hired Alicia to represent us as our advocate and she got right to work. She thoroughly went over all prior testing and paperwork/accommodations and came up with a plan of action. She initiated communication between us and the school and was able to get a second meeting set up fairly quickly. During this ARD, she was able to represent us entirely to ensure we received the reasonable expectation accommodations and the process went so smooth! It is very obvious that this is Alicia’s passion and I am so glad that we have her in our corner!

As a mother of a behavioral Special Ed child, from second grade into now 7th, I have struggled continuously to get through year after year of school. Constantly fighting the system to team up WITH instead of against me, for the success of my child. Trying to get staff and teachers to take me seriously as a single mother and to not be written off as “part of the problem”. As a whole, the schools try to help, and some staff members truly do grow to love your child, but most tend to look for the easy way out of dealing with them. I recently found myself in the worst position yet, as my child’s disability finally led to charges being pressed by a school official. Against the protection of his Special Ed diagnosis. I panicked, felt completely alone, and had no idea where to go from here. A co-worker mentioned an advocate and immediately searched up Ms Alicia Tucker. I called, sure that I was going to get a receptionist who would promise me a call back that I would never receive. Instead I got Alicia’s personal cell phone which she answered in the middle of her own personal business that day. She instantly went into action, got the necessary info, and initiated a plan within the hour. But most of all, she promised I was no longer alone, and that she would dive into my situation with me. Here we are two weeks later, and she has gone to bat for myself and my child, facilitated a successful meeting, and guided me through a process that I would still be staring blankly at, had I been left alone through it all. She never ignored my calls or texts, regardless of time of day, or day of the week. And she truly took into account, my personal abilities, finances, and all around situation. She delivered everything she promised and more, and will be retained by my side indefinitely. I can’t speak highly enough about Ms Tucker.

She was knowledgeable regarding our daughter rights in special education and really fought to make sure our daughter is in an environment that she is safe and able to excel in. We could not have navigated this without her and we will use her for any future meetings and ARD meetings.
