About me

An energetic and experienced special education professional dedicated to empowering students to reach their fullest potential. With over a decade of hands-on experience, Joy brings a wealth of knowledge and a contagious passion to her work. She firmly believes in nurturing the growth of the whole child, ensuring that each student receives the support they need to thrive.

During her tenure in special education, Joy noticed a recurring concern among parents: a lack of understanding and confidence in advocating for their child’s needs. This realization sparked her decision to launch Joy Simuel Consulting, LLC. She saw an opportunity to bridge the gap between families and the complex world of special education, providing invaluable guidance and support.

Joy’s approach is rooted in empathy, expertise, and empowerment. She understands the challenges parents face during IEP meetings and re-evaluations and is committed to
ensuring they feel heard, informed, and equipped to navigate the process effectively. Through her consulting services, Joy empowers parents with the knowledge and confidence they need to advocate for their child’s education.

With a leap of faith, Joy resigned from her teaching position in 2019 to pursue her entrepreneurial vision. Since then, Joy Simuel Consulting has become a beacon of support for families navigating the special education journey. Joy’s unwavering dedication, coupled with her vibrant energy, makes her a trusted ally for parents and a driving force for positive change in the lives of students.
