Hi, I’m Jennifer Merkle
About Me
I am a proud mother, wife, aunt, educator, social justice advocate, and special education advocate. As a parent to three children who have very different learning needs, I have experienced the school system from the unique perspective of a parent as well as an educator. Advocating for loved ones who have special needs in Ontario’s education system has helped me recognize and appreciate the emotional strain families face as they make decisions about the education of their children. As a service provider in the education system, I know and understand the importance of involving family in the decision-making process. My personal and professional experiences have motivated me to offer private educational counselling and consulting services to students, families, and educators so that individuals can receive the time and attention that they need to learn, grow, and thrive.
