    Does anyone have experience working with educational consultant Mercedes Carbone?  She was in the WC/Lamorinda area but has moved to CO.  She still takes clients from out of state.   Thanks.

    She gave us good advice and then disappeared, stopped responding, would not provide an invoice. Other parents I know who worked with her report the same problem.

    I have worked with Mercedes Carbone and would be more than happy to speak with you about my experience. Please ask the moderator for my information.

RE:
Experience with CASE or other IEP advocates? (Jan 25, 2024)

I have not used CASE but I have used Educational Consultants (ECs). They are invaluable in this situation. They will advocate and they will help figure out an appropriate placement if your public school is not working or able to support. I highly recommend finding an educational consultant. You can also reach out to DRDF who counsels on disability rights and the head of the SELPA here which oversees all the special education in the area
