About Our Work

” When I first thought of being a Child Advocate it was because of my children  and the injustice that they received through our educational system. ” — Kellie Kerr, Founder

“I wanted to help parents help their child through the ups and downs of public education. I never thought of it as a career when I was going through the process with my own children. I see now after all these years of fighting the system that there is hope at the end of the tunnel. It’s amazing to me how the school system says that they want to help your child succeed, but it’s really a matter of the school budget is how far they are willing go. It is up to the parents to make it happen for their child.

Most school’s think only of the bottom line and once parents realize that they can begin to help them through the crazy educational system. I learned early on if you don’t fight for your child nobody will. As I said before you are your child best advocate. I wanted to create an environment that parents can feel that they are making the best choices for their children and making the system work with them and not against them. Parents can not accept “NO” as an answer otherwise their child will suffer for it. I found out that the more you push will give you better results. You basically need to let them know you are here to insure that your child gets the education they deserve.

Granted there are a select few teachers who will help you but they are few and far between. You could be one of the lucky ones. I have done the research and I feel I have enough knowledge on the subject to start the parents on the right track in helping their child. I have the tools and I want to educate them and consult with them, and I will stand behind them to help navigate the system. I don’t want them to go through all the heartache of finding the help that I had to go through I want to make it a little bit easier and  give them the confidence they need to help their child succeed.

I have created Personal History Tracking Guidebooks that I feel will help the parents keep all the information through the years in an organize matter. In these Guidebooks will be many Resources that Parents can use, from sample letters to websites. I want to give parents the tools to navigate through the educational system. I know there are some parents in denial that their child even has a problem but it’s time they step up and take charge of the situation. There are many children out there who slip through the system and never get the help they need I want those children, because they are the ones who suffer the most.

I watched my sons go through it until I stepped up and made my voice be heard it took far too many years before they got the proper help they needed. All of my efforts are paying off and so can all those parents out there that might not think they can do it. I am here to help you succeed and watch your child grow and also succeed. I am to support you and your child start this journey all they way to their high school graduation if needed. Now I have gone the next step with one of my son’s who graduated in 2008 and I have learned what to do next after they graduate which I can help you down that road too.”
