ABOUT ME

SHELLY AGOSTINE

OWNER

BIO
As the parent of children with exceptional needs and a trained non-attorney advocate, I have dedicated many years consulting with families, individuals, educators and entities in the area of exceptional student education. This requires knowledge, dedication, perseverance, understanding, training and competency. I first stepped into this space when I founded and facilitated parent support groups in person and then in the social media space. I have taken my skills, education, training and experience and applied them to a career in Exceptional & Gifted Education Consulting, Training, Public Speaking, Coaching and In-Home supports. As well as the 504 plan process. I have been in the field since 2010.
