Putting the Individual First
in Individual Education Plans

Picture
Square Peg Advocacy has its origins in Jane Strauss' training as a teacher, attorney, and administrator and her experience as a teacher, and advocate, a square peg who has never comfortably fit any round holes, and a parent of children who followed that same pattern.  As she saw attitudes in both the medical and educational settings that even she, with an extensive background in law, health, and education, sometimes found daunting, she considered making her services available to others.

She has over two decades' experience as a disability rights advocate, researcher, educator, parent, and consultant.  She has walked in your footsteps, or close, and strongly believes in every child's right to learn skills that will maximize independence and build on his or her unique strengths.
