About

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.

Our customers say it best

and we love them for it.

"AEE encouraged me to learn my child’s learning style, which helped me advocate for my child’s best interest in school. I was able to help my child with his homework once I understood his learning style in a positive and successful manner.

"Trina was very knowledgeable, efficient, and good at communicating with me and keeping me informed on what my rights were. She was very professional, and I cannot be happier with the results. Thanks to her my son now has an IEP and has a better chance to be able to succeed in school. Thank you, Trina!"

"Having Trina as an advocate for my child's IEP team was a lifesaver. She is attentive, detail-oriented, and she knows the special education laws. Trina suggested alternative assessments for my child's school to administer a more accurate picture of my child's strengths and needs."

Advocates for Educational Excellence saved me and my child’s relationship. My daughter has dyslexia and ADHD and we were not only having academic concerns but also behavioral issues. Not only did Trina help me get the appropriate accommodations for my daughter but she also spent time with my daughter teaching her ways to advocate for herself and how to communicate with me in a respectful manner. Trina helped my daughter rebuild her confidence and become more organized with her school work and her chores. Trina referred my daughter to organizations and resources that we are still a part of today. I am beyond thankful.

"Trina Jones possesses every attribute that comprises an exceptional educational advocate. Trina is compassionate, knowledgeable, persistent, and professional. Trina was imperative to collaborate with my child’s special education team and ensure my child received the appropriate accommodations for their educational success."
