Hi, I’m Ashley Traylor, founder of EmpowerEd Consulting & Advocacy and Bridges 2 Advocacy. I hold a master’s degree in special education and bring nearly 20 years of experience as a special education teacher, education consultant, advocate, and parent of a child with complex support needs.

I created these courses to make special education information easier to understand and apply. Whether you are a parent, educator, or service provider, you will receive practical tools, clear explanations, and real-world strategies to help you participate confidently in student-centered decision-making.

My goal is simple: to help you understand the process, ask stronger questions, and advocate through collaboration.
