Alicia Tucker l Special Education Advocate
Mrs. Tucker has worked in the public school system for 26 years, working primarily with students with special needs. She has served as Special Education Team Leader and as Special Education Department Chairperson. Each of these aspects of special education involves a process, and each process is governed by rules and regulations. Alicia will help your family navigate not only the laws but also the processes by which schools implement legislation. Parents often lack knowledge of these systems, laws, and best practices. Furthermore, schools use a litany of terms and abbreviations—for example, LRE, BIP, FBA, that can leave parents struggling to keep up in discussions about their child’s special needs. As your advocate, Alicia can explain these terms and fill in the gaps.
