We have had several positive experiences when working with Julie Mendoza. Over the years, my husband and I have sought advice and counsel from Julie regarding our son's journey through special education. She provided specific guidance by helping to interpret his neuropsych evaluation and collaborated in creating a 504 plan with the Everett School District. Julie not only assisted us in advocating for services in which our son qualified, she also easily referenced legal timelines and parameters the district must follow. Navigating these experiences can feel bewildering, but with Julie's compassion and vast knowledge of Special Education Laws, she helped us feel hopeful and empowered. Often attending meetings alongside us, co-writing emails, and providing outlines of what we should address with his teacher and team. Her experience is unparalleled and it directly resulted in our son's academic, social, and emotional success. She saw our son's FULL potential and helped to make sure he was able to reach it!
We highly recommend Julie Mendoza for any advocacy needs.

Ms. Julie Mendoza was an amazing advocate for our daughter Tricia and her needs at school. Ms. Mendoza is incredibly kind, and truly has the best heart. She advocated to change Tricia’s initial placement in a learning program to a level that would further benefit our daughter’s learning. She was always available to talk regarding our concerns, and treats everyone like family. Our family is grateful for Ms. Mendoza’s impact on Tricia’s life.

Our experience working with Julie Mendoza throughout our son’s early childhood development was nothing short of amazing. Not only did Julie advocate for early childhood services to be initiated and maintained, she also assisted in the process of helping our family set up outside therapies. Then, when services weren’t being correctly implemented during our early elementary years, Julie further advocated with persistency and a tremendous amount of knowledge, so that legalities were followed. Julie demonstrated a deep understanding of special education law and the IEP process, while also providing us with clarity, confidence and a sense of comfort. Julie’s advocacy brought real progress for our son and his education. While our journey felt incredibly daunting during the early years, Julie’s continued support, compassion, patience and direct communication are some of the many contributing factors to our son’s success, and we cannot recommend her and her services enough.
