​​Better outcomes through conversation and collaboration

We are completely focused on the special needs community. We know that those who work with children with special needs - parents, caregivers, teachers, therapists or paraprofessionals  - do heroic work under difficult circumstances. Our passion is to shore up these adults to work more effectively toward better outcomes for children. Our success happens through advocacy, support and policy work. Our mission is to bolster individuals and communities to realize their potential.

Navigating the public school systems in the San Diego area can feel complex, mysterious, frustrating, and discouraging. Well-meaning people can get lost in this quagmire in every direction. In some communities, it feels like failure. Law and policy requirements that even the most competent teachers and administrators must follow create barriers for entry for parents who sincerely endeavor to work as part of a team to actualize their child’s best interest. At New Table Consulting we use our experience as teachers and leaders in the public schools to teach parents to competently advocate for their child’s best interest. learn more..	We build parents’ capacity for advocating for their children. We enjoy our work as direct advocates, but the most rewarding work we do is helping parents develop tools to advocate by themselves. We do this through parent support groups, educational seminars, and personal, one-on-one coaching. learn more... ​ ​	​Underdeveloped and outdated public policy can be infuriating. Policy must always evolve with changing conditions. At New Table Consulting, we impel and lead this evolution by organizing like-minded people to persist in creating and enforcing policy initiatives for improved outcomes for children. ​
