Mary Beth is very knowledgeable and gave me the confidence to make the right decisions for my child. She made me feel like I finally had someone with me rooting for my son and I knew she has been in my shoes before.

Mrs. Patton has been tremendously helpful in helping me understand my child's educational process and advocating for his rights. Not only does she explain to me the why behind her answers, but she researches and provides evidence for each response. I would highly recommend Mrs. Patton to any parent seeking clarification and advocacy for their child!!!

Mary Beth gave us support we needed to navigate the school system for our disabled son. She also helped us realize we are not alone in this journey. Consulting with Mary Beth was the best decision we could have made. Very professional, collaborative and prepared.
~ Megan Kinser
Mary Beth helped me understand many things that were wrong with my daughter's IEP. Having her on our team is such a blessing to our family. She explained everything to me in detail. If you have a child with special needs and have any questions about the services your child is receiving, do not hesitate to call her and consult with her. You will not regret it.
