If you are looking for an advocate for your child, look no farther! Marianne has been my daughter’s advocate for 5 years now and my son’s advocate for 3 years. I decided very early on that I would never attend a 504 or IEP meeting without Marianne (and I haven’t). Her passion for children is clear, and she will do everything in her power to make sure her client, the child, receives the services they deserve. Marianne accomplished for my daughter what a lawyer told me was not possible, she’s simply amazing.

Were do I begin. The unknowns of having a child that requires an IEP and dealing with the public school system is frustrating. Expecting educational professionals to do their job and do right by your child and the parents has been non existent. I needed a new advocate and I was referred to Exceptional Advocacy Services where I was blessed with meeting Madison Nigh, she is passionate about helping, educating, and doing what is best for your child. I can’t tell you how much she has helped me and my family with my son’s IEP and making sure he is getting what he needs in the school system. It’s not just a job for Madison it’s her passion and it shows since our first meeting. Madison you are truly God sent. Thank you all your help and your continued help.

I am a former special education teacher. 5 years ago, Marianne represented families on my caseload so effectively that when I needed support for my child, she was the first person that came to mind. In the beginning, Marianne was there to listen to me vent and bounce ideas, and when the time came that we needed her support, she immediately jumped in. Within 24 hours of letting the school team know that she would be working with us, they had a 180 degree shift in attitude, communication and mindset toward collaboration. After multiple 2 hour eligibility and IEP meetings that were getting tabled, we had a 35 min meeting that was incredibly positive and productive, because Marianne was involved. If Marianne does not know the answer to something, she researches it and backs it up with policy and quality research. She has great rapport with DODEA and fully supports the families that she works with. I cannot recommend her enough, both as a teacher and a parent!

Marianne is amazing! She is knowledgeable, proficient, and she is always an email, phone call, or meeting away. She was heaven sent for my family. Before contacting her I was thinking of homeschooling. She has given so many avenues and outlets for my child’s needs. I have and will continue to recommend her services!

Marianne stepped in and helped when I was at the end of my rope with my child’s school. She was amazing in helping advocating for him and making sure we had the correct services and supports in place. I highly recommend her!

Marianne is a true gift! She came in and listened to our needs, researched my son’s case, and didn’t skip a single detail to help us get his IEP straight and all the services he needs. It has been a blessing working with her! She has probably saved my son from a long life of obstacles and frustration! We had no clue how much we really did not know about what services were actually available to him and his rights to receive them. I highly recommend her for your child’s needs!

If you need help attaining special services for your child within the school system, then Marianne Young is the person to get things done. After seeing her in action recently, I can’t believe I actually considered going through the complicated, intimidating process alone. Marianne’s experience, expertise and thorough understanding of the IEP process as well as relevant legal considerations were evident even before our first meeting. She provided an invaluable service for a child I am mentoring and myself. Not only is she an effective advocate, but she is also a genuinely good person with passion and concern for families in need. I am so grateful for the blessing of her services. Thank you, Marianne! The course of a child’s life will be forever changed because of your talents.

Everything I had ever heard about a SPED advocate had always been negative. I never thought I would need one so I didn’t bother to think otherwise, until I needed one. First, I was in a desperate situation. My child had been suspended from a program because of systems that were directly linked to her diagnosis. I had already cried, called everyone I knew that worked in SPED and I had no answers. I called Marianne at 9 at night expecting to leave my desperation on a voicemail, but she answered! I thought I had the wrong number! Marianne spent almost 2 hours on the phone with me that night, comforting me, reassuring me that my daughter had been discriminated against and I wasn’t being biased. She then put me in contact with a whole village of people that I now call friends, that were willing to support me and help me without knowing anything about me. When it came down to a face to face meeting with this program’s administration I knew that my emotions would never allow me to get all the points across that needed to be discussed, so I reached out to her again and without hesitation she was there. She walked us though everything we needed to say (and not say) and she fought hard by our side for our baby that can’t fight for herself. She is exceptionally knowledgeable and I catch myself frequently picking her brain to learn as much as I can. She has been a God send. Any child would be extremely fortunate to have Marianne on their team.
