Disability Advocacy and Direct Representation
I am an experienced ADA and disability civil rights advocate. I help individuals disclose their disability and negotiate reasonable accommodations in post-secondary education, employment, and public and private service agency and public accommodation settings. I have appeared as an expert witness and in a supportive capacity in administrative hearings and judicial proceedings.
While much of my work is pro bono, there are instances where I must charge for my services. Examples of charged professional advocacy or representation are those generated by execution of a formal contract for services, or a formal written agreement to represent the individual.
My primary orientation is towards helping the individual become more completely self-determined and, by mentoring and modeling, set an example for their becoming an effective, independent self-advocate. I am not into "being needed" in perpetuity by individuals who otherwise are perfectly capable of continuing on with their own self-advocacy.
