Special Perspective is here for you and your family.
Navigating the world of special needs can be overwhelming but you are not alone.
Take a deep breath....we've got this.
Special Perspective was created to provide parents and caregivers with help in navigating the world of special needs. As parents, we want to help our children who are struggling with a disability but the choices or resources can be very overwhelming. I am here to walk by your side, advocate, provide support, coach and advise you on the steps to take to help your child receive the right intervention whether it be therapeutic or academic. I have teamed up with the BEST specialists to assist your family. There are many resources that many parents do not know even know about.
-We review IEP or 504 plans to ensure the right modifications or supports are addressed
and make sure the plans are being implemented with fidelity.
-We can attend alongside parents school meetings
(Annual Reviews, Program Reviews, Team Meetings)
-We offer parental and family support and training.
-Tour schools and programs for your child to help you make the best choice.
-We connect you with the best therapists in the field of
Psychology, Speech, Occupational, and Physical therapies.
-We connect you with the right behavioral therapists to work
to address behaviors inhibiting growth and learning.
-When legal services are needed, we are sure you are teamed up with the best firm for your case.
-We give you a community to feel included and part of the process
of helping your child reach their best potential.
- No disability is too big or small to discuss with us.
-We work to not only look at the whole child but
the whole family and provide support for parents and siblings.
-We work to build inclusive programming in your school districts
not only academically but from the social-emotional standpoint too.
-We connect you with non-academic programs that help
focus on social skills, physical activity, and having FUN for ALL!
You are not alone and together we will help support your child to be included,
supported, and given the best possible chances for success.

Diane is the founder of Special Perspective. She lives in the Westchester area with her husband Robb, 2 children, and dog Barney. On the weekends you can often find her on the sidelines of a softball field cheering on her daughter.
She brings almost 40 years of special needs experience! How is that even possible?! Well, Diane is not only a special needs Mom to the coolest 13 year old but also a special needs sibling. It's a rarity to have that knowledge base. Diane was always drawn to the world of special needs being surrounded by it almost her entire life. At Fordham University she studied Science working with children on the Autism spectrum and developmental delays. Back then she saw the need for more programs and most of all meaningful inclusion. When she found herself as a parent of a child with special needs she saw a whole other personal aspect of this world and advocated for her child as any Mama Bear would. Along the way, Diane met some of the best in the field across all aspects of the special needs world. As your Special Needs Advocate, Diane wants to bring all her expertise to you and help make things a bit easier for you all. No one knows better than someone who has walked in your shoes. Let Diane help you put it all into perspective.
