"I highly recommend Pam Labellarte as a lay advocate. She would be a valuable asset to any parent seeking to obtain appropriate educational services for their child with a disability."

~~ Jill M. Dressner, Attorney at Law

Email from a client:

Pam, I wanted to share this wonderful note from my son's teacher with you. I know it will touch you as a Mom and as our Special Friend!! Words can not express how happy we are that you entered our lives and lead our son to this fabulous school.

~~Tracy C., Parent

"Although I had been an involved parent, and my son had had an IEP for 9 years, the difference between my son's 'performance' in school comparing his ability to that of his peers was growing and he was going to crash. Working with Pam Labellarte, I felt confident that my son would get what he NEEDS and what he is LEGALLY ENTITLED TO. She knows the law, how the system works, and she understands as only a parent of a child with a disability can. She has two! Pam encouraged and supported me and even accompanied me to the IEP meetings. This year, with additional supports and services in place, my son is doing better than ever, more confident, happier, and even made the honor roll for the first time in his life."

~~ Lorra Rudman, Parent

"I have known Pam for more than 14 years. I have never met anyone more passionate and excited about the success of all students. She is tenacious and well versed in Disability law. I always listen closely to her because she speaks from personal as well as professional experience.

~~ Mary Turon, Parent and Past President, Down Syndrome Development Counsel (DDC)

"While employed at The Lake County Center for Independent Living in Mundelein, Pam was a Parent Advocate for all Lake County residents, needing help with IEPs, 504's, anything to do with services in schools in Lake County. She knows educational law like the back of her hand. She has a daughter with Down syndrome, and a son with ADHD, and a daughter in college, studying to be a Special Ed Teacher...surprise, surprise. She is a FANTASTIC person, has a heart of gold, and has been thru it ALL! She is now in private practice. I know many who have used her, and their children's lives have been forever changed! She not only teaches parents how to advocate, but more important, teaches children how to advocate for themselves...baby steps, right?"

~~ Jill Kron, Parent

"All kids are gifted. Some just open their packages earlier than others."
