Laura Pauley Rich2025-10-01We are beyond grateful for Gina’s support as our special education advocate. She not only orchestrated our son's enrollment plan with the school but also came up with the idea of a graduated return-to-school schedule that truly meets his needs. Gina carried the mental and emotional load of navigating the district on our behalf, which allowed us to focus on being parents instead of constantly battling red tape. Her expertise, compassion, and persistence have made all the difference for our family—we couldn’t have done this without her.
Billy Rawls2025-10-01She was so professional and knowledgeable of every topic that was discussed in the ARD. She showed a caring and strong side when it came down to my child rights. Mrs. Tucker is absolutely the best!!

Brandy Ringo2025-08-12If I could give Sunnye more than 5 stars, I would a thousand times over. From the moment we connected she was a steady source of support, guidance, and strength for me during one of the most challenging fights of my life, securing specific accommodations, including but not limited to a one-on-one para my 5-year-old son, who has level three autism, desperately needed but our school district kept pushing against. Sunny was not just knowledgeable and skilled, she was patient with my emotions, my tears, and my fears. She listened without judgment, encouraged me when I felt defeated, and fought alongside me every step of the way. She understood not just the legal side but also the emotional weight a parent carries when advocating for their child. Because of her dedication and expertise, my son is now getting the support he needs to be safe, successful, and truly seen at school. There are not enough stars, words, or thank-yous to express the gratitude I feel. Sunny is not just an advocate, she is a blessing, and I will forever be thankful for the light she brought into this battle.
Amanda beshears2025-05-24Sunnye is extremely knowledgeable and was very willing to listen and help work through all the details of my child’s case. She was very helpful in the ARD when the school was not cooperative.
