Mary Beth is very knowledgeable and gave me the confidence to make the right decisions for my child. She made me feel like I finally had someone with me rooting for my son and I knew she has been in my shoes before.

Mrs. Patton has been tremendously helpful in helping me understand my child's educational process and advocating for his rights. Not only does she explain to me the why behind her answers, but she researches and provides evidence for each response. I would highly recommend Mrs. Patton to any parent seeking clarification and advocacy for their child!!!

Mary Beth helped me understand many things that were wrong with my daughter's IEP. Having her on our team is such a blessing to our family. She explained everything to me in detail. If you have a child with special needs and have any questions about the services your child is receiving, do not hesitate to call her and consult with her. You will not regret it.

I have worked with other advocates, and by far, Ms. Patton has provided us with the most support. Navigating special education for your child can be so stressful and confusing. Her professional background and ability to communicate to parents and schools has been invaluable to our family, and I feel fortunate to have her on my child’s team.
