As a woman with a disability, Amy understands that individuals with disabilities can live the lives they want, but this often requires thoughtful preparation and strategic planning.

She has litigated in state and federal court and uses her litigation experience to represent student with disabilities and their families in IEP meetings, due process hearings, and court proceedings.
