Marcia is trained, has experience, and “really knows the system.”
Marcia offers guidance, advocacy and support, to navigate the complexities and details of your child’s needs and the school system’s Evaluation, Individualized Educational Plan (IEP) and Accommodations process.
Marcia has more than two decades of experience as a classroom educator, Director of Education of a Supplemental School Program, social worker and is a parent of two children with educational, social skill and behavioral special needs.
She trained as a professional advocate to combine her "inside" knowledge of the education system with her personal experience working with public and private school systems to have her children’s needs met. Marcia understands the “system” from both sides. This enables her to assist parents and schools to see each other’s point of view, and work collaboratively for the benefit of the child. She thinks “win-win.”
Parents need someone with knowledge and experience at their side to guide them through the educational maze, so they obtain appropriate services for their child and protect their rights under the law.
Let Lindner Educational Consultants help you put your child on the road to successful learning.
Karen lives in the metro Atlanta area and has two children who matriculated through the public school system from pre-kindergarten through twelfth grade.
Across her 30 year career in special education she instructed students with developmental disabilities, autism, and specific learning disabilities by establishing and implementing individual education programs. Within small group classroom settings and co-teaching learning environments she delivered explicit, specially designed instruction to help students reach their maximum potential.
As a lead special education teacher she supported families through the special education eligibility process. She also trained special education teams in inclusive practices and proactive behavioral support. Her years as a lead special education teacher were guided by her mission to help school-based teams “think outside the box” to help students succeed in the areas of
academics and social-emotional learning. Communication between school and stakeholders was a key part of her daily practice.
Karen is thrilled to continue her life’s work in the field of special education by working directly with families to establish informed, positive support to ensure success for all students within the school setting and at home.
