Meeting Florida’s annual evaluation requirement doesn’t have to be stressful.

- Friendly, age-appropriate student interview
- Signed evaluation letter for your district
- Supportive guidance for future record-keeping

First, I want to say “thank you Jessica for all you do every day” I have been blessed with the support I have been receiving from Jessica at Elevate Advocate. Since day one when I did my first free consultation call with her, she clarified to me so many questions I had from previous experience with IEP. I did the best decision ever hiring her services for our second IEP journey and I can’t be more happy and grateful from what I am right now. She has been a peace for me, available all the time to clarify me questions, guiding me to fill documents, completing applications, reviewing multiple evaluations, looking for schools and accomodations.

I can’t remember how I found Jessica…but I can tell you how much we appreciate her. My daughter had a rough start in vpk and kinder. My daughter started 1st last year… she couldn’t read…even with the accommodations the school gave her in kinder. Jessica has a way with words… and data. She was able to get the accommodations my daughter needed to succeed. In Dec we were sent a letter of a severe reading deficiency…by the end of the school year my daughter got a 4/5 in reading on the star testing. And ended the school year with honor roll. I am so proud of the work my daughter put in… but she wouldn’t have done as well without the accommodations… or all the hard work Jessica put in. The school kept telling us my daughter was making gains…but the data said otherwise. Thank you for fighting for my daughter!
We are eternally grateful for you!

Jessica is not just an advocate, she is a special needs advocate guru. She is very knowledgeable, professional and a reassuring presence in the midst of uncertainty. She was able to help get my sons IEP updated and amended correctly, which then led to a properly updated Matrix score. There is no one else you want sitting next to you in the school IEP meetings! Thanks, Jessica!
Jessica Silber is an amazing advocate! She truly cares about my child’s unique needs and she gave 100% to making sure he got the accommodations he needed. The school employees also seem to respect her. She is firm and very professional, and they respond well to that. Our experience with Elevate Advocate was 10/10!
Jessica at Elevate Advocate truly deserves way more than five stars! She is an incredible advocate, the absolute best of the best. My daughter has a very rare and progressive disease, which makes the IEP process especially emotional and difficult to navigate. I often get so overwhelmed during meetings that I freeze and can’t express what I need to say. Having Jessica by my side has been an absolute gift. She knows the system inside and out and consistently goes above and beyond to make sure my daughter gets the support she needs in public school, more than I ever thought possible. She understands exactly what I want for my daughter, and when I can’t find the words, she steps in and speaks up for me. I’ll always be grateful for her, and I recommend Elevate Advocate to anyone needing guidance and support through the special education process.
As the private speech-language pathologist for a student attending a school-based IEP meeting, I had the opportunity to attend the meeting with Jessica, who was serving as the family’s parent advocate. From the very beginning, Jessica demonstrated an impressive understanding of the IEP process and a deep commitment to supporting the family’s goals.
She was completely in tune with the parents’ concerns and priorities. Jessica came thoroughly prepared, asked the hard—but necessary—questions, and kept the team focused on what truly mattered: meeting the unique needs of the student. She created space for the parents to speak and ensured their voices were respected and heard. Her advocacy style is a perfect blend of professionalism, confidence, and compassion.
Jessica was not only incredibly knowledgeable and articulate, but also thoughtful and thorough. She remained calm and composed while navigating difficult topics, and her presence made a meaningful difference in the outcome of the meeting.
I frequently recommend Jessica to the families I support and feel honored to have her in my professional network. She is a tremendous asset to any IEP team, and I look forward to working with her again.

I cannot recommend Jessica enough! Navigating my son’s IEP process for the first time was overwhelming, and I had no idea what to expect. From the very beginning, she was incredibly patient, taking the time to explain everything to me in detail so I could fully understand my rights and how best to advocate for my son.
At the IEP meetings, she was a powerhouse! She is firm, knowledgeable, and completely dedicated to making sure Elias received the support he needs. She knows the laws inside and out and she confidently pushed for what was best for him.
I truly could not have done this without her. Having her by my side throughout this process gave me the reassurance I needed and I know it will make a HUGE difference in my son’s life. If you need an advocate who will fight for your child like they are her own, Jessica is the one to call. I am so grateful for her dedication and expertise!
