A few things we’re great at
Services
LAF Consulting provides individualized guidance to families navigating disability services across educational, residential, and employment settings. Each service is grounded in advocacy, dignity, and practical expertise.
Advocacy and Individual Support Consulting
Support in educational, residential, and employment settings requires both knowledge and steady guidance. Lauren partners with individuals and families to clarify goals, prepare for important meetings, and ensure that services align with long term needs and personal priorities.
This may include consultation around IEP meetings, transition planning, residential decision making, employment services, or advocacy within community based programs. The focus remains consistent: protecting rights, strengthening voice, and promoting meaningful inclusion.
Person Centered
Life Planning
Life planning should reflect who a person is, not simply what systems offer. Lauren facilitates thoughtful, person centered planning that honors strengths, preferences, relationships, and long term vision.
Through structured conversation and collaborative planning, families gain clarity around next steps while building a roadmap grounded in independence, belonging, and opportunity.
Navigating Disability Systems and Benefits
Disability systems can feel complex and overwhelming. Lauren provides clear, informed guidance to help families understand available services, funding structures, eligibility processes, and benefits.
