With more than a dozen years of practical hands-on experience and knowledge focused in the Special Needs field, Alyssa wanted to have the ability to fill the large gap that exists for families to obtain the best possible quality of life future for their Special Needs child and so formed Your Special Plan LLC. Here she uses her abilities to create comprehensive life plans to help parents bridge the gap of the unknowns of their child's future at any stage in their life.

She works collaboratively with the families to establish short, medium and long term goals that are specific to their child and the families needs as there is so much more to optimizing the life of a Special Needs child than only financial, legal or medical planning.
Alyssa is an alumni of Montclair State University graduating summa cum laude with a Masters in Special Education Teaching and a Bachelors in Family and Child Studies. She spent many years as a Multiple Disabilities teacher helping a wide spectrum of children and also has experience as an ABA therapist and a one to one special needs aide. However, she has always found most value in identifying areas of need and creating the solution to help. It started with her foundation and running of the Student Organization at Montclair State focusing on families, providing essential resources and connecting with the community and progressed with running a totally inclusive TREPS program for K-5.

Moreover, it is her patient, caring attitude and easy demeanour, together with excellent organizational skills that drive her to want to help families with special needs in her role as a life coach and help them pursue the future they seek for their child through her customized Life Plan at Your Special Plan LLC. Collaboration, organization, and customization are the key criteria you will experience when choosing to work with Alyssa.
