WHAT PEOPLE

ARE SAYING
I have worked with Marni Johnson both personally and professionally for over ten years. Marni is an excellent example of what a child/adolescent educational advocate should be. She is very well versed in educational rights and sets a high standard for herself. Marni is a good listener, she builds rapport easily with families, and she has some of the best business etiquette.

Child psychologist Chicago
I’ve been a special education teacher for 23 years, and have worked with Marni Johnson for 16 of them. She is, by far, the most knowledgeable of any teacher, psychologist, or administrator I’ve known when it comes to the field of education. Marni is well educated and makes it a priority to be up to date on education policies, laws, or changes that are coming down the pike. If ever I have a question related to special - or general - education, she is my go-to person. There have been a number of instances when other teachers and administrators have asked me to “contact Marni and see what she thinks”! As a teacher, I have come to Marni on several occasions with questions related to law, parent concerns, and IEP’s in general. She always sits down, hears the concerns, and can brainstorm a reasonable and thoughtful solution that leaves all parties feeling heard. I always feel grateful to have Marni on my team.

Special Needs Help Chicago school education
I can’t thank Marni ENOUGH for her immeasurable help when we were having some trouble with our 2nd grade son at school.  Finding out your child has a special need is never easy for any parent.  Marni helped me understand that it was okay and showed us, step by step, how to get him the proper help so he can succeed in school.  Now our son is thriving because we have placed him with the right supports and plans to help him feel like the rest of the kids at school.  We highly recommend Marni to anyone who is seeking help and advocacy for their children through the school system.  With her extensive background knowledge and experience, there’s no one else with whom I’d trust to go on this journey.
