SHORELINE EDUCATIONAL ADVOCACY

Elizabeth Tam, M.Ed

Empowering Families to Educational Success

Feel confident and empowered to be your child’s best educational resource! 

As a parent of a child with a disability, I’ve sat in countless meetings processing new information about my child’s learning… all while trying to navigate my own emotions related to the situation. 

As a special educator, I’ve sat on the opposite side of the table and seen the feeling of overwhelm in families as we make critical decisions regarding their children.

    DO YOU FEEL…

    • Disconnected from your child’s education? 

    • More unclear after your child’s team meetings than before?

    • Unclear on your child’s current progress and learning? 

    • Tired because every school interaction feels adversarial? 

    Imagine how different your life would feel if you had all the tools needed for a collaborative relationship with your child’s school? 

    It’s time to become the confident, empowered parent advocate you were meant to be.

    ”Liz is a lifesaver. We knew our son needed help in school, but had no idea where to begin. She guided us every step of the way. Her insight and knowledge of the education system helped us get the evaluation our son needed. Without her, we wouldn’t have known what to ask for or how to get it. She is so smart and caring - you can tell she truly loves helping people.”

    “Liz has given back so much to our family. She has given me the tools I need to advocate for my children. In return my children have been thriving and successful. We owe her so much. Thank you Liz!

    “Mrs. Tam worked with my family to help advocate for my daughter’s rights, while also throughly explaining the IEP process. She was able to quickly answer our questions and address our concerns. If she didn’t know the answer, she knew who to reach out. She helped ease our anxiety with her caring, calm and direct approach. It was very helpful to work with her. Any family would be lucky to have her as their advocate! We are grateful for all her hard work.
