Jalani Traxler

Special Education Advocate

location_onAtlanta, GA
My name is Jalani Traxler and I have loved teaching sense I myself was a student with an IEP receiving my own accommodations in elementary school. I have formally been in education sense 2014 first starting off as an intern with the world class summer literacy program "Freedom School" in my home town of St. Paul, Minnesota. This period of time served as inspiration to eventually join Teach for America in the spring of 2023 and eventually receive my certification as a teacher from Kennesaw State.

What an advocate can and cannot do

An advocate reads your child's school file, writes to the district, gets you ready for the meeting, and sits in the meeting with you.

Jalani is not an attorney and does not give legal advice.

No advocate can promise a result. The district still has to agree to what you ask for, or you have to take the disagreement further.

Hiring is between you and Jalani. Find Parent Advocates never assigns an advocate to a family, and the advocates listed here are independent professionals rather than our employees.

What to ask on the first call

Ask Jalani these on the first call.

  • What have you done in my district before?
  • How many hours does a case like mine usually take, and what does that come to?
  • Who does the talking in the meeting, you or me?
  • Do you charge for email and phone time between meetings?
  • What happens if the school says no?
