What is novAlta?
NovAlta is a personalized support service designed to help families and educators navigate IEPs, assessments, and specialized instruction with expert guidance, grounded in compassion, legal knowledge, and extensive real-world experience.
As a special education consultant and credentialed education specialist with nearly two decades of experience, I am always seeking out new ways to leverage my expertise in support of the students and families I proudly serve. I created NovAlta to provide the clarity and confidence that public school systems often overlook, and to empower families and educators with practical, personalized solutions for elevating student outcomes.
