Welcome to Exceptional Advocacy Colorado: Elevating Special Education Advocacy for Every Child
About Me:
Greetings, I'm Katelyn Kendrick – a fervent advocate committed to advancing special education advocacy for every child in Colorado. As a Board Certified Behavior Analyst, Certified Trauma Support Specialist, and Board Certified Advocate in Special Education (BCASE), my extensive experience positions me as a dedicated advocate for your child's unique needs.
A Personal Connection:
Armed with a Master’s in Education from the University of Cincinnati and a journey that began in 2009, I've dedicated myself to working with the Autistic population, being an AuDHD individual myself. Navigating the educational landscape as a parent with a child on a 504 plan, I intimately understand the challenges faced.
From Politics to Special Education Advocacy:
My advocacy journey commenced in 2008, spanning local politics, educational advocacy, and Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility (DEIA) training. This unique blend of experiences positions me at the crossroads of understanding, empathy, and effective advocacy.
A Commitment to Inclusivity:
I am deeply committed to neurodiversity-affirming, trauma-informed, and anti-oppressive practices. Recognizing my privilege, I ensure all interactions foster an environment that is anti-racist, LGBTQIA2S+ affirming, fat liberating, sex-positive, pro-immigrant, neurodiversity-affirming, and disability justice-oriented.
Advocacy Tailored for You:
My focus lies in creating an advocacy practice that stands against oppression, providing unwavering support for families navigating the intricate IEP process. Your child deserves a quality education, and the law supports that. In moments when overwhelmed parents may not fully grasp their rights, I am here to bridge that gap – the law is on your side, and so am I!
