Testimonials

"The school said, 'due to your son’s age and a plateau in skill level, it is likely that he has reached his communicative potential and is recommended that speech/language services be discontinued.' I didn’t get mad, I got Faith. Mrs. Thaw is an educator and former special education administrator. Her knowledge of the ins and outs of special education has made her an invaluable asset at IEP meetings. Plus, we can sleep the night before those meetings. I wouldn’t go to any meeting without her. She is the best! FYI: we got my son’s services reinstated."

"Faith Thaw brings a compassionate and non-adversarial approach to educational advocacy. I do not hesitate to refer to her, as she gets results."

"Faith is phenomenal. For years, schools denied services to my TBI (Traumatic Brain Injury) and SMI (Severe Mental Illness) sons. Through a stroke of luck, I was given Faith's name and number. From the moment Faith started attending IEP meetings for my sons, everything changed. Services were provided almost immediately. When school administration openly refused to follow an IEP on several counts, Faith guided me in filing a complaint with the Arizona Department of Education. We won, hands down. Before ever attending the first meeting for your child with a school, Faith has combed every record and bit of information you can get to her. She enters every meeting informed, prepared and ready to ensure your child's needs are met. I would not dream of walking into a meeting with any school without Faith at my side. I have recommended Faith's services to many of my friends and will continue to do so. Having Faith on your team equates to educational success for your child!"

"Faith's expertise in special education and the IDEA law has been a tremendous help in getting my son the program and services he deserves and should have as a child with multiple disabilities. Her professionalism is outstanding and she has earned the respect of the school districts and all involved. She makes dealing with a very complex educational system easier with her great advice and guidance."

"The best part about working with Faith Thaw is the peace of mind that comes with knowing you have an advocate who is intelligent, articulate, and compassionate toward your child. It really helps to have someone with her experience and knowledge to help communicate your concerns to the teachers and administration, especially when you feel your child's needs are not being adequately met. Faith is a terrific intermediary, and we have had success with both the teachers and the school administration because of her professionalism and expertise. We can't thank her enough for helping our child."
