About Charlene Lafountain

I am a QASP-S with over 10 years of experience supporting individuals with special needs from the ages of 2-24, and their families across educational and ABA settings. I specialize in IEP advocacy, autism, intellectual disabilities, and high levels of behavioral challenges. Helping families navigate complex systems and secure the services their children are entitled to. 

With a background in special education, Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), supervision, and leadership, I bring both clinical expertise and real-world experience to every case. I have worked as a special needs teacher, supervisor, and mentor, giving me a comprehensive understanding of how schools and service systems operate, and how to advocate effectively within them.

I provide direct, results-driven support through IEP guidance, parent coaching, and evidence-based behavioral strategies. My approach is practical, collaborative, and focused on outcomes that matter: increased independence, improved behavior, and meaningful progress in both school and daily life.

I am committed to empowering families to confidently advocate for their children while ensuring that no child is overlooked or underserved. I hold high standards for ethical practice, accountability, and measurable results.

If you are seeking knowledgeable, experienced, and effective advocacy and support, I am here to help

“When parents and advocates work together, children thrive.”

I’m here to help guide you through the process and answer any questions about private pay advocacy and how it can support your child and family.

Private-pay advocacy provides families with individualized support focused solely on their child's needs. Advocates can help review records, prepare for IEP meetings, identify service gaps, and guide parents through the special education process. Their expertise can increase parent confidence and help create more informed, collaborative discussions with the school team.
