Clarity for the path ahead.

School and college planning is daunting for students who learn and think differently. We help you clear the path to find the right fit and advocate for the right supports.

Reach Out

Not every student’s path looks the same. Some students need more intensive support than their local public school can offer. Some college-bound students learn differently, and getting in is only half the story.

After over 13 years as a School Psychologist and Special Education Administrator, I’ve sat on both sides of these decisions from helping families find the right therapeutic school placement to helping neurodivergent students find colleges with the services they’ll need to succeed.

Alera exists because the guidance you need shouldn’t fall through the cracks at your child’s IEP and Section 504 meetings.

In other words, Alera fills the gaps.
