Amanda Bailey

Special Education Advocate

I am an educational advocate with more than 18 years of experience supporting students, families, and schools. As a former special education teacher, case manager, and educational consultant, I help families understand their rights, navigate the special education process, and collaborate effectively with school teams. My approach is compassionate, solution-focused, and centered on building positive relationships while ensuring every child receives the support they need to succeed. I believe parents should feel informed, empowered, and confident throughout their educational journey, and I am committed to helping families find practical solutions that put students first.

I was born with spastic diplegia cerebral palsy. I had an IEP all the way through school.. Now I have a daughter who has spastic quadriplegia cerebral palsy and has an IEP. I’ve lived in the Philippines for 10 years without resources and now live in the US so I know what it’s like to have to find your own resources and do digging and be the voice for yourself and the voice for your child.
