Our Testimonials

David W

There is nobody better or more knowledgeable!!! Stacey has been our son’s advocate for the past 8 years. I truly don’t know what we would have done without Stacey’s help. She literally knows everything about advocacy. Stacey is a great teacher and support in helping parents advocate for their kids, yet is always there to help us whenever we need her. She truly cares about each and every child and parent she works with. When you have Stacey on your team not only do you feel a sense of calm and relief in this otherwise world of chaos, you also know that you will get everything your child needs and is entitled to.

Thank you so much for everything Stacey !!! We appreciate you.

“Real advocacy is (1) helping make your views heard; and (2) get valuable information to make a decision with COMPLETE CONFIDENCE” – Stacey Hoaglund. After using her services, we understand why she’s considered one of the most respected authorities in the space of autism advocacy; a reputation well deserved. As parents, we were self-advocating for our son for nearly a year, where we felt like we kept getting pushback and objections from our son’s school about what we felt were very reasonable requests. When Ms. Hoaglund got involved, she helped us tweak our approach and push back on the school in a professional and respectable way, while not compromising what we all felt was in the best interest of our child.

“If you don’t advocate for your child, no one else will. So don’t be afraid to speak up” – Stacey Hoaglund. If you make the most of your time and get great consultation from someone with 20+ years of experience in this space, contact Ms. Hoaglund. It would be one of the best investments you can make for your loved one who’s on the spectrum.

My family struck gold when we found Stacey Hoaglund! Not only are her advocacy skills top notch, but her passion and experience leave a lasting impression. We are so grateful for the countless hours of support and guidance that she selflessly provided and highly recommend her to anyone in search of an advocate.

Stacey was sent to us as an angel! Here is why…. At my darkest time I had no one to talk to or did I know I had rights for my son. She educated me, stood right by my side at all my IEP meetings and fought with me for my son to receive services I didn’t know he could have. She is absolutely the best advocate. She may be this tiny little thing, but don’t let that fool you – she is the SHARK, the Pittbull that will continue to get what your child deserves!

I love her! Thank you Stacey for all that you do day in and day out.

I cannot recommend Stacey enough. She has been our advocate for the past two and a half years and has been absolutely vital in navigating our son’s IEP journey. Her knowledge of the school system both from the inside out and as a parent is unmatched.

Stacey not only guided us through each IEP meeting but also empowered us by explaining what tools and supports we could request, what was fair, and most importantly how to ensure our son received what he truly deserves. Her approach is thoughtful, informed, and compassionate, and she always puts the child’s best interest at the center of everything.

If you’re a parent feeling overwhelmed or unsure about how to advocate for your child’s educational needs, Stacey is exactly the person you want by your side. Her support has made all the difference for our family.
