| About Us |
AFASE at school is located in Ajax, Ontario. It is owned
and operated by Karen Robinson. She is a Certified
Parent Consultant in Education Advocacy and has over
20 years experience as a parent advocate. Karen sits on
the Board of Directors of the Ontario Association of
Education Advocates and serves on the Chapter
Leadership Council of Autism Ontario - Durham Region.
She has four children, two of whom have special needs.
Her 27 year old son was diagnosed with a developmental
disability, and her 15 year old has autism.
For many years Karen juggled work within the corporate
world while advocating for her children's special needs.
After a while, it became apparent that she could not
continue to do both. She became dedicated to becoming
an advocate for appropriate special education and set
out to research and learn everything she could about
navigating the special education system in Ontario.
She realized that many parents don't have the time, the
knowledge, or the skills to be effective advocates for their
children's educational needs and decided that she could
help other parents by providing services such as
advocacy coaching, letter writing, needs statements,
ensuring good Individual Education Plans, delivering
workshops, and providing support at school meetings and
appeals.
Hence the birth of AFASE at school.
