About Us

Charmaine Thaner
Advocate and Public Speaker

The problem is so many students with disabilities spend their days at school being lonely, feeling dumb, and believing they’re not good enough. I want to help you change that!
I currently support parents through advocacy and public speaking.

What makes working with me different?

I know what it is like to be a parent and how essential it is to speak up for your child.
I also understand what challenges teachers face and how the education system works.
There aren’t many people that have the combination of life/job experiences that I do.
My variety of unique perspectives and skills will help you make a difference in your child’s life.

How can I help you be a Changemaker?
When you and I start working together, you will learn to:

Be Heard, Understood, And Respected
Help Others Know Your Child Better
Put The I Back Into Your Child’s IEP
Achieve Positive Outcomes For Your Child
Get Educators To Think Outside The Box

Everything I do is because I believe life can be better. My passion and work is to help life be better for students with disabilities.

Our children can be included and have that critical sense of belonging.
Each of our kids can learn new skills and show what they know.
Our children can have rich, full-filling lives.
