Grisel Gonzalez is glad that she met Maritza Cubi of<br />

<strong>The</strong> <strong>Advocacy</strong> <strong>Center</strong> at a workshop that Maritza<br />

presented in collaboration with Hillside Family of Agencies<br />

and Ibero-American Action League. With Maritza’s advice<br />

and coaching, Grisel was able to obtain an evaluation<br />

for her 11-year-old daughter, Alenis. <strong>The</strong> evaluation<br />

recommended a change in services for Alenis, and Grisel is<br />

looking forward to her daughter receiving the support she<br />

needs to succeed in school. “I am very grateful to Maritza,”<br />

she commented, “thanks to her, I was able to learn about<br />

my rights and the supports available for my daughter.”<br />

With information and encouragement from <strong>The</strong><br />

<strong>Advocacy</strong> <strong>Center</strong>, Grisel is securing the support her<br />

daughter needs to learn and to flourish. Alenis is on<br />

her way to a successful future.
