About Me
Your Helping Hand in Giving Children the Special Education They Need
Who is Trina Jones?
I was inspired to start this consulting business based on my personal experience as a mother seeking academic and behavioral support services and accommodations for my children. Having children with a variety of learning and behavioral concerns that needed to be addressed, I understand the feelings of confusion, frustration, and, at times, total despair you can experience pursuing help for you and your child.
As a parent, I experienced firsthand many of the calls about the behavior meltdowns, disruptive behavior in the classroom, issues with authority figures and peers, along with a lack of interest in academic achievement. I know what it feels like to leave a child’s Individualized Education Program (IEP) meeting feeling confused, discouraged, and as a parent, as if I was in some way failing my child.
With over 12 years of advocacy on my behalf and others, I offer you the benefit of my knowledge and experience. I will assist you with IEP, 504 planning, school record review, in-person advocacy, school district liaison, Orton Gillingham Tutoring, along with local community resources and services.

“As I sat at the head of the table, I was calm and secure. I finally found my voice to advocate for my child with knowledge and a clear understanding that Taliyah needed a multisensory approach to learning. I understood the “education” language and I understood what she needed, but most importantly Taliyah found her voice and began to advocate for herself. Taliyah became excited about school and the different books she could read on her own or with the assistance of audio technology.”
