Educator, advocate, author, and parent of neurodiverse learners — Mary blends decades of experience with a warm, collaborative approach.

Portrait of Mary Resenbeck

Her Story

Two decades guiding families to clarity and confidence.

With 25 years of experience in education, advocacy, and homeschool consulting, I've guided hundreds of families through securing appropriate services, accommodations, and placements for their children.

As an experienced IEP advocate and parent liaison, I cut through the confusion of special education and help families secure the services every child deserves under IDEA. As a homeschool consultant and parent of neurodiverse learners, I help families build joyful, flexible, and effective homeschool environments.

My approach is collaborative but firm — I build bridges with schools while fiercely protecting your child's rights. Families trust me because I balance a child's academic, social, and emotional needs to find solutions that actually work for their unique situation.
