Welcome to Just.Ed

I’m Lindsay Crawford, a special education expert and mom of two. I know how much you want your child to thrive—and how overwhelming IEPs, 504 plans, and school systems can feel. With the right support, it doesn’t have to be that way.

For over 14 years, I’ve worked in public and charter schools across New York and California as a teacher, special education team leader, and mentor. I understand how schools operate and what it takes to create real change for students.

My approach is rooted in collaboration, not confrontation. I help families build productive relationships with schools while ensuring their child’s needs are clearly understood and fully supported.
