About

Founded in 2025, ChampionED was created to meet the growing need for family-centered advocacy and guidance in navigating the special education system.

I’m Madeleine, a former full-inclusion special education teacher turned advocate and consultant. My years in the classroom gave me a deep understanding of special education law — and a front-row view of the challenges families face in securing the right support for their children.

Through ChampionED, my mission is simple: to ensure every child receives the services and opportunities they’re entitled to, while empowering parents and caregivers with the clarity and confidence to advocate every step of the way.
