Successfully navigating the special education system is no small feat.

My name is Sandy Russo, I am a certified school psychologist based in New Jersey. Through partnership with parents and guardians, it is my goal to facilitate effective and pragmatic communication with school districts to ensure your child has access to the services that they are entitled to. Whether you are just getting started in this process, or have been working to best support your child’s educational needs for years, I can help you learn to be an effective advocate for your child.

Learn how to be an effective advocate.

Through our partnership you will gain a thorough understanding of the special education system, laws, and procedures to better advocate for your child. My guidance and consultation services will provide you with step-by-step support throughout what is often a complex and overwhelming process.

Step-by-step support.

From the decision to refer your child to the Child Study Team for an initial evaluation, to eligibility determination, to ongoing support through an individualized education plan (IEP), I will be there every step of the way.
