LCSW, MSW, M.Ed., JD.
I have written articles primarily pertaining to children's rights in education and raising children with learning disabilities.
I have worked with numerous families and their children with special educational needs. I provide parent advocacy and attend Individual
Education Plan (IEP) and Child Study Team meetings with parents on behalf of their children. My articles have appeared on the
Learning Disabilities Worldwide website. Click on the title below for the full article:
"Ask Ila" was a column I wrote for several years for a local newspaper. In the column I responded to a variety of questions
by readers who related having difficulty with certain situations in their lives.
The questions covered a wide range of topics
including parent-child conflicts, aging parent issues, “sandwich-generation” frustrations, relationship issues, divorce and custody
issues.
Below are links to some "Ask Ila" columns:
I will be continuing this column here. If you have a question, please
email me your "Ask
Ila" question. I will publish one of your questions a month anonymously, but I may answer others privately.
