Brown Education Law Group is pleased to announce a new partnership with Brittany Alexander, M.Ed., M.A.T., owner of BA Educational Services. Brittany joins our team as a special education advocate, strengthening the support we offer Colorado families navigating IEPs, 504 plans, and disputes with their school districts.
An educator’s perspective at the table
Brittany brings more than a decade of experience supporting students and families, first as a classroom teacher and later in educational leadership and administration. That background matters. She understands how schools make decisions about services and placement because she has been on the other side of the table, and she uses that insight to help families ask the right questions and push for the right outcomes.
Her work focuses on neurodiverse students, and her advocacy services cover the full range of issues families encounter in special education: IEP and educational record reviews, evaluations and eligibility, behavioral supports, transition planning, placement, compensatory education, and preparation for and participation in school meetings. Brittany describes her approach as a combination of an educator’s perspective, an advocate’s knowledge, and a family-centered focus, and she is a member of the Council of Parent Attorneys and Advocates (COPAA).
Building a stronger advocacy team
Brittany joins Jessica Buskard, M.S., BCBA, IBA, owner of Polaris Advocacy, who has partnered with our firm to bring more than 15 years of experience in the autism and disability community to our clients. Together, Brittany and Jessica give families two experienced advocates with complementary strengths, one grounded in classroom teaching and school administration, the other in behavior analysis and trauma-informed practice.
Why advocacy and legal representation belong together
Special education law is a labyrinth of federal, state, and administrative rules under the IDEA, Section 504, and Colorado’s ECEA. Most disputes are resolved long before anyone reaches a due process hearing or a courtroom, and the families who get the best results are usually the ones who had knowledgeable support early, when the evaluation was being questioned or the placement was being decided.
That is the gap this partnership is designed to close. Our advocates work directly with families to review records, identify where a school’s services fall short of a student’s needs, and represent the family’s position in IEP and 504 meetings. When a dispute cannot be resolved at the school level, Lindsay N. Brown and our legal team are ready to step in for mediation, due process, or litigation. Families get continuity from the first meeting through resolution, with no need to start over or bring a new team up to speed.
