Melonie T. Matjeka
Special Education Advocate
I support parents at IEP team meetings, Regional Center and any other educational meeting they need me to attend. I review their files and help them understand the process and formulate a strategy that works for their child. I offer a variety of different options in the way I advocate meaning I teach them to be their child’s advocate as well. I have clients in Ventura County down to Rancho Cucamonga in San Bernardino County.
