| 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
served on the Chapter Leadership Council of Autism Ontario - Durham
Region for three years.
She has four children, two of whom have special needs. Her 29 year old son
was diagnosed with a developmental disability, and her 17 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.
