amanda gabel consulting

IEP and parenting support from a therapist who’s sat on both sides of the table.

I’m Amanda, a licensed clinical social worker, special education advocate and mom of three, with nearly 20 years of experience. I help parents understand what the school is really saying, know what to ask, and walk into meetings feeling prepared.

why Amanda?

 
“We are truly grateful to have Amanda by our side as an IEP advocate and parent coach. Her educational background, knowledge, and thoughtful organization bring so much reassurance and confidence to an overwhelming process. Her advocacy during meetings means so much to our family. She makes sure my concerns are heard, my son’s needs remain a priority, and I feel supported every step of the way. She has empowered me as a parent and given me the confidence to navigate the special education system and advocate for my son. She has become such an important part of his journey, and I’m genuinely thankful for her compassion, dedication, and the difference she continues to make in our lives.”
— Parent of a 4th grader
“During the past six months, Amanda has helped me to strategically develop a reading program for the Peekskill School District. Her skills in communication and program development are key in my progress. I rely on her skills to help me bring this project to “the radar” of key personnel and community members.”
