Listen to Marta as she is featured on Special Education Matters with Michael Boll. Their conversation covers how her family influenced her journey in becoming an advocate, establishing relationships with clients and their families, and the importance of maintaining focus on the students.
Marta Leyva, the principal at Excelsior Academy from December 2020, to February 28, 2022, and a member of Student’s IEP team, testified at hearing. Before working at Excelsior Academy she was an associate principal with the Chula Vista Elementary School District. She had also been a teacher and speech therapist for three different public school districts. Leyva had also worked as an advocate for children with learning disabilities and as a consultant to their parents. Leyva had a master’s degree in educational leadership and had completed considerable training in a wide variety of special education interventions and IEP development. She had attended hundreds of IEP meetings. She answered all questions posed to her without hesitation, thoroughly, knowledgably, and confidently. Due to her extensive work with children with learning disabilities, Leyva was familiar with many of the nonpublic schools operating in San Diego County. Her testimony was extremely credible and persuasive.
At Voz de Victoria we believe that every child has unique needs and it is with decades of expertise that we are able to conduct academic evaluations, in-depth study of all educationally related records and classroom observations.
Too often our children are seen as nothing but the labels that they have been given. However, we see our students as the unique and radiant people that they are and work hard to ensure that they are receiving the resources to help them live their best life.
Through the course of interviews, correspondence, and IEP reviews, we are always in contact with loved ones and guardians of our students.
Accurate, compliant translations of IEPs, 504 plans, and school documents—helping districts serve multilingual families with confidence.
We help our families and school teams find common ground and focus on the goal: ensuring your child receives the tools they need to succeed.
Your child is entitled to a free appropriate public education (FAPE) as the Individuals with Disability Education Act 2004 and other special education laws require. We at Voz de Victoria will ensure that they receive it!
With over 35 years of professional experience in public education, our practice is rooted in expertise and advocacy for individuals with disabilities across all ages. As educators and advocates, we collaborate with students, adults, families, and school teams to design ‘appropriately ambitious’ educational plans, whether for children in special education, adults transitioning to independence, or those with undiagnosed learning challenges. We believe social justice begins with equitable access to education at every stage of life.
We are glad to be a part of countless success stories, We believe Social Justice can be achieved through an appropriate education.
