Informed Parents Are Their
Children’s Best Advocates!
I offer an array of services that empower parents to understand the legal framework and use the law to obtain the IEP or 504 plan your child is entitled to. I provide training, consultation and advocacy around navigating the world of special education and school accommodations.
If your child has been denied an IEP or 504 plan, or the existing one is not being followed, I can help you try to avoid time consuming hearings through the use of alternate avenues such as mediation or agency complaints.
I work on an hourly basis and create affordable packages specific to each client.

You need help figuring out where to start trying to get help from the school, and all the confusing terms make your head spin!
You have been told to get a costly private evaluation for your child.
You have been told that your child’s grades are too high to get services.
Your child’s IEP or 504 plan is not helping.
You need someone to help you communicate with the school or attend meetings.
You’ve hit a roadblock trying to get services at school but want to avoid a hearing.
Your child has been disciplined at school for disability-related behavior, or due to race, sex or ethnicity.
You are a college or graduate student who needs help getting accommodations for a disability, such as a learning or attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder or mental or physical health challenge.
You or your child have experienced different treatment or harassment due to gender, sex or sexual orientation in a public school, charter school or college.
“I would HIGHLY recommend working with Miriam Nunberg! When I decided that I wanted my daughter with dyslexia to remain in public school, I knew that her IEP was the most important document I needed to ensure she received a proper education. Miriam is a fierce advocate with a very specific skill for navigating the NYC public school system with knowledge of federal, state and city laws. As a mother herself, I felt like she really understood how difficult and stressful this process can be. She offered support, guidance and suggestions on how I could best advocate for my child at her IEP meeting. The process is a maze. Even prepared parents and the most well intending school staff can NOT keep up with updates and changes to Department of Education rules and regulations . . . but Miriam can. She was able to track down and provide support for accommodations I felt were necessary for my child to succeed in public school. I can absolutely say that my daughter would NOT have had the testing accommodations that she has now if Miriam Nunberg was not at my IEP meeting. She was the voice of reason and I think even my district rep was grateful for her expertise.
Working with Miriam Nunberg was one of the smartest things I did in advocating for my child.
