Education has always been apart of Alexis' family. Her father has 42 years as a special education teacher, and administrator. Her mom, 20 years as a social worker on child study teams. As an athlete, she felt called to teach health and physical education and is certified in both. As a teacher with over 500 students a year, she has had much experience being involved in IEP meetings and advocating for her students. One of her most meaningful courses in Adaptive PE.
If you were not an educator, you became an attorney. Her brother, Justin, is an compliance and contract attorney in NYC. Her first cousin and maid of honor at her wedding, an entertainment attorney in NYC.
Other cousins and aunts and uncles add to our extended family of educators, administrators and attorneys. Additionally Alexis Family is Puerto Rican and she speaks Fluent Spanish.
When someone can relate to you and your experience as a mom with special needs, understand the pedagogy of education, can analyze data on services and supports, and is versed in educational law through IDEA and 504, you can be sure that a 360 degree perspective using both the environment (external) as well as the diagnosis ( internal) , will be used to get a complete picture on what the most assertive next steps will be for your childs development. This is not just academic but emotional, social, psychological and physical.
Alexis and her family have lived in the Fort Mill/ Indian Land area for almost 10 years. You might remember her from Carberry Custom Color or Carolina Custom Color as a designer and general contractor.
As an advocate, it is also my job to educate parents, students , staff, teachers on what the LAW and case law actually states and holding districts accountable when there is less then satisfactory IEP goals, supports and services.
