Equity in Education
Empowering Families & Schools to Reimagine Special Education.
Sana Tariq
Special Education Advocate & Consultant (WA & CA)
A child's capability should not be defined by a label. As a seasoned education professional, I believe in a strengths based approach that celebrates neurodiversity as an asset, not a deficit. My expertise spans both Washington and California education systems, with a particular focus on bridging the gap between families and schools to create programs that truly serve each student's needs.
