Who we are
Adonai is rooted in building relationships.
When your child struggles in school, the first challenge isn't always the struggle itself — it's figuring out who can help. A therapist addresses the emotional piece. A psychologist can test and diagnose. An advocate speaks up at meetings. A tutor builds skills. A consultant explains the paperwork. Families are often left assembling a team of specialists on their own, translating between them, and carrying the coordination no one else is doing. Adonai Education Support exists to close that gap.

I built Adonai to be the single point of support families actually need: someone who understands the educational system from the inside, speaks the language of IEPs, 504s, and MTSS (the tiered system schools use before formal evaluation), and walks alongside you through the entire process — not just one piece of it.
That means I can review evaluations and explain what they actually mean for your child. I can help you understand whether an IEP (Individualized Education Program, a legal document outlining specialized instruction) or a 504 plan (accommodations without specialized instruction) fits your child's needs. I can prepare you for an ARD meeting (Admission, Review, and Dismissal — where your child's IEP is written and reviewed) so you walk in informed instead of overwhelmed. I can help build strategies for dyslexia, dysgraphia, ADHD, or processing challenges that actually work at home and at school. And when communication with your child's school feels stuck, I can help bridge it — translating jargon, clarifying expectations, making sure your voice is heard.
